VT asked:


I put my son on ADHD medications after years of refusing to. He has been taking htem for roughly 3 months and she has not done any blood work on him. From what I understand it shoudl have been before he started and again in a few months. Any insight would be great, he has been going to her for 8 years but I am debating changing dr’s.
He was presrcibed Vyvanse which is a new ADHD medication.

      Depends on what type and/or what medication he is on that your son’s ped gave to him. At any rate, I would ask her why she hasn’t done any labs on him or yes, maybe a change in a doctor is warranted. Good Luck!
