I am sure the doctor doesn't want your son to go without his medication and some medications cause unpleasant side effects when they are stopped suddenly.

When my insurance changed, I told my doctor that I needed cheaper medications and he was able to switch them. I could not pay several hundred dollars a month for a prescription.
Well the reason he's on vvanse is because it has less of an addiction rate because ot metabolises differently from Ritilin or Concerta stuff like tht. And instead of bringing his meds here yesterday she took them home with her and said she's going to let the school "handle" them. Considering i live not even a mile from the school, I don't see why she would do that. unless the school is going to have control of givng it to him. My husband and I are going up there monday and if they don't give them to us, we are taking him out of that school and moving him to the next county over. So I don't know. I figured it would be illegal for her to be in possesion of someone else's meds especially with it being a controled substance.
