My son is on adderall. One of our family doctors required an office visit at about $60 a pop each month in order to get a prescription. I checked with our other doc who would sign a prescription as he walked past between patients for $10 a pop each month, or whenever we went to get refilled, about every two to three months for me and maybe every six weeks for my son.

The second doc just needed an assessment from a psychologist to document a diagnosis.

So I would say shop around. You might check with a public school nurse to find a good ADHD doctor. If she has a lot of kids in her school with ADHD, she may be a good resource for you.
