I get your point, but I'd have a real hard time trying to give my child an addictive stimulant such as adderall. It is a combo of amphetamines after all.

Agreed. I think ADHD has been marred by doctors giving out powerful drugs to too many patients without understanding their specific needs. But that's the story of pharma and, sadly, modern medicine.

It is also the responsibility of the patient to understand themselves and their medication.

I'd rather doctors have the same freedom to try, and the patients the freedom on choice.

I disagree that adderall should be any more restricted than it currently is, except to reduce the dosing of people under age 16-18.

Also very true.
