Hello
Very true, I know my pdoc would not write me a prescription for Desoxyn. My sons pdoc specializes in children ADD/HD only, mine adults only.
It's sad that the DEA has to be that way. I know its because of abuse reasons. But sometimes its just silly.
Actually, after doing a lot of research on Desoxyn, I can say it would be hard to agree to my son taking Desoxyn, thats why I mentioned the Strattera. There are a few other stimulants he hasn't tried either. My son just has very severe ADHD. But if end the end, if Desoxyn is what he needs, then so be it (honestly though, I will be very nervous if that time comes)
My sons pdoc has been around for quite a while, and many people respect him. He is also a professor. He must be doing something right, like making accurate and wise decisions. He realizes, after a couple of years that my son happens to be one of those kids who doesn't respond to typical ADD meds. Actually a lot of his patients are referred to him by other pdocs, because of not responding to other meds (probably because they are afraid to prescribe anything stronger, and my son's isn't) Like I said though, Ritalin has actually been good for him. I am happy that he is responding well to it. His Dr. is surprised too, but happy about it.
