Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Drug Shortages 

Kimberly Sue N. Barrientos


"One DEA representative has reported that the DEA sets manufacturer quotas in order to help prevent abuse by individuals who do not have ADHD and who are seeking the drugs solely for recreational purposes.13

It is argued by many, this fear of potential abuse should not affect the DEA and manufacturers’ decision to limit the production of the medication because of its imperative importance for those diagnosed with ADHD.14"
