your kid should 99.9% not be taking adderall xr... do we even want to ask their age

edit: expected to be downvoted, appaling that this many people believe giving kids amphetamine is a safe and healthy options

Maybe consider shutting up and minding your business when it comes to other people's kids? I'm sure OP and the kid's doctor know what they're doing. Your unsolicited advice is not welcome here.

posting on a public forum and crying about comments is about as karen as you can get

pumping a kid full of high dosages of ampheatamines is not healthy especially when not knowing the long term effects, its one of the most over prescribed drugs for children

Because their opinion obviously carries more weight than doctors, toxicologists, etc.

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.
