[quote=Anonymous]The psychiatrist will have to explore this with him.

It's true that ever since the beginning of the shortage, some patients have seen the effects of their meds decrease and therefore suspect that manufacturers are using slightly different formulas to compensate for a shortage of ingredients.  It could be as subtle as a change in coating - most patients won't notice, but a few might not digest it in the same way, and therefore the active ingredients will have a different effect.

It's also true that ever since this has become a movement on social media, experts fear that many patients will start to believe their own meds are not working, due to high suggestibility on the matter. Not because their meds have changed in any way!

Your son's opinion could be compounded by the fact that he dislikes the side effects of his meds. Poor thing, my son is the same way, and I feel for both. On school days, meds are really the only thing that keeps him together.

So it's quite serious, and psychiatrists have their work cut out for them to tease out what's what for each patient.
