> Actually, my 8 year old son has ADHD. He has tried Dexedrine, Adderall XR, and regular. Bad effects from them. He is now on Ritalin. The Ritalin is working really good for him right now. Thats the key words, right now!!!!

Of course, parents are known to rifle with their kid's prescription ADD meds...
Anyway, you tend not to hear about it because few kids don't respond to typical ADD meds like Adderall, Dexedrine, etc. More often, a doc would rather see a kid not get treated than risk him getting an audit for prescribing Desoxyn. The DEA likes to intimidate certain "red flag" prescribers-- Desoxyn, Dilaudid, Oxycotin, etc.
