[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ADHD drugs can lead to addictions. The kid is given amphetamines and is self medicating with pot. It's toxic, it's not his fault. [/quote]

Stop spreading misinformation. Teens with uncontrolled adhd (often those not on medication) are more likely to take drugs.

OP, some of this may be related to his adhd, and each negative step results in the next. I would start with the doctor who is managing his adhd. [/quote]

Parents should read the labels on the amphetamines for side affects and understand what they do to a growing brain. Most kids have no business popping study drugs it's the parents who are demanding amphetamines for kids for the purpose of a better GPA. Doctors know that if they don't prescribe the drugs, the parents will just go to another doctor who will. [/quote]

OP here.  I understand that view.  We are in medicine.  However, for my son, he never could understand why he didn’t do well in school, he is bright.  Once we finally got him to take his non stimulant medication he did better and he said was able to concentrate for once.  This helped his self esteem [/quote]

OP, I am going to go out on a limb here - and I know I'll likely get dismissed by many for suggesting "new wave pseudo-science" but, whatever to those who want to judge.

I would find a reiki practitioner and get him regular sessions. Bonus points if the practitioner is also a coach. A person like this will help him heal any wounds that he is carrying, align his energy, and explore himself in a safe and caring space. And they will do so without needing to prescribe any drugs.

I know you say your family is in medicine - but, honestly, western, allopathic medicine is not always the answer...

Just my two cents, from the perspective of someone for whom therapy and drugs absolutely didn't work - but reiki did.
