I don't know, wasn't there. But he has reported problems with his mom and meds many times before, and that she herself had a dexedrine problem of her own. I'm sure a very stressful homelife isn't exactly helping rj feel stable or stick to the program. There was also a post about having had abused it in the past- but once an abuser doesn't have to mean always an abuser- so are we speculating? Why does the psychiatrist keep prescribing it so often? Not sleeping all night can cause red eyes and weird symptoms, too. Maybe the dose is plain too strong, or maybe he needs an add drug which doesn't last as long?

When I go off stimulants sure, I live, but fall asleep all day long despite sleeping at night. And by now everyone must have heard the news reports that teens need to sleep more than adults, and that many experts are urging schools to open later in the day as a result. But I digress...

I understand he's having trouble with her over using a medication which has been prescribed for him. It sounds very frustrating.

> His eyes were apparently bloodshot and he was exhibiting enough symptoms for his mom to know he was on it? That isn't normal usage of adhd meds. Yes look at his past to see his issues with stimulants. The fact is, it is not normal to be so distraught over having ones meds taken away, (adhd meds) The only people I know who would go nuts over not having adhd meds are those who are addicted. I can go off the stimulants I take whenever I please, because I use them for a legitamate problem.
