Reply to comment by LogisticBlues in Has anyone had luck filling their Adderall XR prescription lately? by Digatarole

uhh cause we don't know the long term effects of giving young kids amphetamine.. let alone a consistently STRONG dosage for an extended time period

this should be a last resort for any kid, docs these days are trigger happy to prescribe without fixing the root of the problem (sleep, diet, physical activity)

Not sure about pediatric medicine, but I’ve always thought prescribers have been more cautious all around when dealing with addictive medications, e.g. stimulants, opiates, benzos. I had to jump through hoops just to settle on one type of stimulant which has improved my quality of life by a lot. I worry that it’ll be an even bigger pain in the ass once I move states or need to switch doctors.
