[quote=Anonymous]OP, the person who wrote about complex meds and speaking with the psychiatrist is absolutely spot on and I suspect it is someone who works with adolescents with substance abuse issues and ADHD, as I do. I cannot emphasize enough how good that advice was. When I treat adolescents who have substance abuse issues it is almost always because they are self-medicating and in my experience, pot is the self-medicator for ADHD that is not being treated medically. The key to this is finding the right ADHD medication and being insistent that using any other type of drug is not acceptable. Go to a psychiatrist who specializes in adolescent ADHD, sometimes they have wrap around services for executive functioning skills and organization as well. Ignore everyone who says you are overreacting, you are not.[/quote]
