adderall | ADHD Information
If his doctoriprescribed 20 mg twice a day and your son is taking the Adderall as prescribed, he's not abusing, he's following the doc's recommendation. 40 mg.day is not the maximum daily amount--but there's no telling from here whether or not the doc has over-prescibed. Best for you to discuss this with your son, if that's possible, and his doctor (with or without your son). It's possible a different dose, or a different drug will work better--that's something to work on with the doctor.
what are the signs of adderall abuse? My adult son who is also bipolar takes 20 mg twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. He is losing weight and is very manic after taking the second pill. Do you think the doctor has over prescribed?
