Foster Kids on Adderall and other Meds.

[AbsentMinded]

Part one

I just came across this episode from 2012. It’s about kids being given 10+ drugs including Adderall.  I hope parents are looking at all options and using Adderall as a last resort. 

I can’t imagine the withdraw that they go through coming off Adderall when their brains aren’t even fully developed. In these cases the parents were afraid of not following the doctors orders (doctors paid off by big pharma). But, as I’ve been researching more I came across a doctors discussion board. They were saying how when patients want Adderall they just gave it to them and how they NEEDED these patients to keep coming back so they could make easy money. One even said that he liked ADHD patients because he could print a script and send them on their way. Leaving more time for more “important” patients.

Whether you ever really ADHD or not, this is really concerning to me. Psych doctors admitting they hand out Adderall like candy and get paid off by pharmaceutical companies. 

Disclaimer: I know there are plenty of wonderful Psychiatrists and Doctors. I’m specifically speaking about the ones who enabled all of us to get addicted to this stuff.

I had two different doctors in nyc prescribing me Adderall. The first was a psychiatrist in Chinatown that did try to prescribe me ability first and after I took that home and felt nothing from it, the next time it was very easy for him to prescribe adderall. The second doctor was just a regular MD that my friend referred me to. I had one conversation with him and walked out with Adderall and clonazepam prescriptions. They were my drug dealers for about 5 years. I’m sure they had many other patients coming there every month to get their prescriptions so they made tons of money. It’s a business model designed to sell drugs.
