Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD, is a condition that makes it difficult for people to control their attention and behavior. It usually appears before age seven. ADHD symptoms may create difficulties getting work done. Symptoms may also affect relationships with friends and family.

  1. Psychostimulants are a Schedule II, controlled medication with the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration.) This means your provider cannot give refills for your psychostimulant unless a new prescription is written each time. Phone calls are not accepted at pharmacies for Schedule II medications. Many of the negative consequences that are attributed to psychostimulants are from their misuse by people without ADD/ADHD. Individuals with ADD/ADHD generally do not have the problems that result from the long-term use that misusers get from psychostimulants.
