My son was put on Adderall XR 5 mg capsules without my knowledge. My son spends half of the time with me and half with his mom. I started noticing serious behavior changes in my son for about the last 3 months. He was crying a lot, he appeared anxious and irritable and became extremely mean to his younger brother. During my parenting time with my son I was called by school because he was vomiting. He told me that his learning medicine had been put in his cereal and it made him sick. My son s medication is not administered by the school but by his mom in the morning. I thought he was talking about the multivitamin that I know he takes. I phoned his doctor only to find out he has been on Adderall for the past few months. I have my son for 4 days in a row every other week and two days over night every week. During my parenting time my son was never given Adderall. Since I have now obtained the doctors records I now know that there is a correlation between when he started Adderall and when I saw the change in my son s behavior. My son s mom also lied about the family dynamic stating that she lives alone with my sons 7 days a week. I have my boys half the time and their mom lives with her dad and uncle during her parenting time. Please advise.
