The dispensing of schedule III and above drugs is getting harder and harder for doctors. The DEA is starting to treat doctors like drug dealers. Unfortunately some physicians do prescribe a lot of Schedule III and IV because they do not know what else to do.

Your doctor won't prescribe you and addictive substance when you have a history of addiction. However, he should not just "street" you. There are plenty of other therapeutic options for ADHD. I take non-prescription Suntheanine daily and as time goes on, I have noticed a pretty decent benefit. It wasn't the quick fix amphetamines would give.. but I like not having side effects or taking a medication with addictive potential.
