“…adults and teenagers with ADHD are four times more likely to be involved in car accidents…”
It’s important to do everything you can to be as safe as possible behind the wheel. Medication for ADHD can be one of those things.
And there’s no data to support becoming an addict from ADHD medication:
Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks of medication — they are the expert.
