Parents of children on various ADHD medications know the drill when dropping off a prescription for their child’s ADHD medication — ask the pharmacist if they have the drug in stock before leaving and coming back for the prescription. Often times parents are told that their prescription can’t be filled because they’re out of the ADHD drug they’re trying to fill. If you have a few pills on hand, it may not be a big deal, but if your supply is running out, many children revert back to their uncontrolled behaviors very quickly and exponentially lose their ability to focus. Sometimes these involuntary “drug vacations” can cause anxiety within the family, create disciplinary issues at school and cause children to under perform in sports, school and social situations.
