    Does this staristic correlate with scarcity of pharmaceutically-prepared amphetamine-based FDA-approved treatments for narcolepsy and ADHD?

    Amphetamines are at the top of the list of “Top 31 Prescription Drugs Associated with Reports of Violence Toward Others”. A followup questionnaire/consultation/interview may be helpful for identifying whether a different ADHD medication would have a more tolerable side effect profile for a given patient.

    Adderall and Vyvanse are FDA-approved amphetamine-based treatments for narcolepsy and ADHD. Concerta and Ritalin are methylphenidate-based. Methylphenidate is not an amphetamine.

    Pharmaceutical grade amphetamines are considered to be lower risk than street meth.
