I have been to doctors over and over not one is doing anything a nurse or a Tenth grader could not do. Why do I have to go to a doctor to have my Cholesterol checked or have the doctor tell me I am low on Vitim "D"? Our Medical system is broken and broke because we are paying doctors to do the job a paper boy could do.

Great article, Serena. I feel that the shortage is somewhat manufactured; if there's that much demand for ADHD drugs, why wouldn't they just be cranking them out daily? I personally would be very hesitant to give my child or recommend to anybody ADHD drugs, especially Adderall. Amphetamines are a Schedule II substance that have the highest abuse and addiction potential and can cause serious long-term depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. I took Adderall in college a few times and I would never do it again. I found several homeopathic and natural alternatives that still boosted my focus and concentration, but didn't "crack" me out or cause me to stay away too long. I'd highly recommend a natural alternative, and use the actual ADHD drug route as a last-resort.

parents can call or write the FDA, or a local government representative, and let them know that they're having trouble getting necessary medication.
Right, and how do you go about getting the right name and number? You didn't give enough information or even what department to call!
