[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You also have to hand carry Adderall as a parent (kid needs an early afternoon booster). Which is a PITA because it is so tightly regulated, you never have extras. So you pick it up from the pharmacy, and have to go to the school the next day to drop off.  Every month.  Rather than sending it in with your HS kid. I get that these are abused drugs, but I don’t always have an hour in the day to take it the next day for a kid who self administers because college next year.  The crazy thing is he turns 18 soon, and I will still have to take it myself. [/quote]

My son takes Vyvanse which lasts for 12 hours. Try it.[/quote]

My kid actually takes Vyvanse at 6 am. Needs a short acting Adderall Boster around 2, which is when the clinic stops dispensing. For him, it starts to fade as school  is ending at 3:00. But he needs to get through ECs, get home at 7, so homework. It would be best if he could self administer after school before ECs.  But we win’t Risk him being caught with the pill.  [/quote]

My kid takes Adderall XR at 7 am and takes regular Adderall as a booster at 2:45 pm at the clinic. We get 90 day supplies of the booster med (by mail order) and drop off the prescription at the open house before the first day of school and then once againt towards the end of 2nd quarter. Can you check with your kid's doctor to see if a 90 day supply might be possible to order?[/quote]

Yep.  We are actually working on this. Kid has shot up and put on weight, and we are trying to get the dosing right.  But I hope in a couple months we can do 90 days. [/quote]
