A member asked:
Could adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) be prescribed to a person with a history of drug abuse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally no: Although some physicians would disagree, Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) (which is a mixture of amphetamines) can very easily become a drug of abuse even though the original abuse was with other drugs. Also prescribed Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is commonly sold or traded for drugs of abuse.
