[QUOTE="standswithcourage, post: 113930, member: 3948"] I can relate also. My son was diagnosed ADHD in first grade. He started taking Ritilin then. He continued taking it and we continued going to counseling until he was in junior high. He then switched to Adderall up until high school. His schooling was still hard for him and he would get inttrouble. He was in resource and some Special Education. He is not mentally retarded but needed more one-on-one. Anyway, by 11th grade he stopped taking all medicines - said they made him feel bad - dropped out of school - here you can sign yourself out at 17 - he got a job and started smoking pot - and the rest is history. He is in jail now. He is 24. He has done a lot of drugs trying to find the one that makes him feel good or normal. He does not do what the doctor tells him to do - he cons them into giving him the drugs he wants. I hope you do not have to deal with this. Be on the lookout for continued behavior changes and do not hesitiate to call the police if you need to. I had to. My son sounds similar to yours. Take Care. [/QUOTE]
