In reply to abuse of dexedrine (dexeamphetamine?) need help.., posted by Deb R on March 13, 2000, at 9:19:05
Hello Deb R (from Australia if I remember correctly)
Dexedrine is a stimulant used for ADHD. Calms me down, and like Erin said, helpls normal people stay up all night.
This child is part of the reason why some doctor's are hesitant to prescribe stimulants--the medication has a street value.
I believe (for the most part) people who feel okay in their skin generally don't go looking for recreational drugs. The child could be self-medicating.
Good luck Deb.
You're a good friend.
I hope it's not too hot down there.
I'm saying the last sentence wistfully because sometimes I think my ancestors immagrated to the wrong country (Canada--great country, but way too cold). Janice
