Thanks Jane, my main concern is whether or not it was illegal, as Linkadge had previously mentioned. I do realize controlled meds are tracked, hence the world 'controlled'; however, controlled does not equal banned. It makes sense that doctors make the call using his/her professional judgement.
-----------------------
Linkadge,Can't doctor's now write scripts to resolve symptoms other than what the meds were designed for? Or is that just for the less-controlled meds? I mean, if Chai's doc felt ADD/ADHD meds would help him (not that they would for those particular symptoms), how would it be illegal?
