[QUOTE="Love the sunshine, post: 186078, member: 5759"] I don't think he is using recreational drugs (although he's surprised me with many things in the past). Because of his legal issues, over the past 3 months, he has had 4 or 5 UA's and they have all been clean. We've done random drug tests in the past, and they have all been clean. As far as his medication, he really has been somewhat non-compliant. One of the reasons we took him off of the Depakote and Effexor is because he was not taking it consistently. His dr could never get an accurate blood level for the Depakote. We are constantly reminding him about the Strattera. He always has EXTRA pills left over at the end of the month. We have a daily/weekly pill box as a reminder. We used to have the same issues with the Adderall. We are at a loss. He will be 18 in October. He doesn't connect the consequences with his actions (or doesn't think they should apply to him), thinks rules are stupid and arbitrary, etc. This is not normal "teenager" stuff. It just gets more serious as he gets older. He's been a challenge all his life. [/QUOTE]
