This week on the Pretty Girl Pill Club, Sophie and Rohnie take on a listener question about ADHD medications and substance abuse. We cover common misconceptions about ADHD, specifically about the psychostimulant medications commonly used to treat ADHD symptoms, which are regulated as Schedule II drugs by the United States Drug Enforcement Agency.
