about

I am open minded and try to be as tactful and honest as possible. When looking at a question I attempt to understand all perspectives so that I can give the best possible solutions. I think that anonymity is best when answering questions, so I leave out most of the details about me. I really would like to help! I appreciate all feedback, so please let me know what you think. Thanks,

A while ago my phsycologist said that i had really bad ADHD and its ruining my life. For example, it took me four hours to do a language arts assignment that it took the rest of my class 1 hour. Heres my problem: my cousin also had ADHD and they put him on medication. Later, they found that hewas abusing the medicine and taking way too much so they sent him to a re-habbilitation home. Now my mom wont let the doctors prescribe me any medication because she thinks ill wind up the same way that he did. is there anything i can do?

Ask your mom to look into the different kinds of medication. There are multiple medications for ADHD, especially with all of the abuse that has occured. There are slow relese medications that work over many hours. Talk to your doctor, look online, and then talk to your mom (preferably with your doctor), and explain that there are drugs that are much harder to abuse becuase they work differently.
