ADHD treats with Lisdexamfetamine. Amfetamines, I repeat. People use this to study, to get high at parties, to be functional at work, so I really doubt there aren't patients out there abusing these drugs with valid prescriptions.

Yes, some people will abuse their prescriptions.

But the majority will not. Treating ADHD through stimulants usually has fantastic outcomes for patients.
