A first of its kind study looked at the concurrent prescribing of stimulant medication for ADHD and opioid medication for chronic pain. While more research is called for, the results showed a low risk of misuse. Read "When Stimulants and Opioid Medications Are Prescribed Together" at bit.ly/nrcopioids to better understand what researchers found.

Has your ADHD treatment plan been affected by concerns about opioid medication misuse?

I came across your post and joined in here thinking I'd find more info. So far, I can't pull up the research you cited. And don't see other posts about your topic. Wondering if you have more info, or could direct me to other links. Thanks.
