Boy, they are a high functioning couple. 8^D
I used to abuse coke and meth years ago and agree w/ the self-medicating idea. My pdoc, when I told him I did coke in my younger years and it helped me focus, etc. He used that as a reason to put me on Ritalin. I have never abused any psych med and don't think it's a problem for ex abusers. There will be exceptions but a sharp doc will know it.
I wouldn't prescribe stims to anyone who is actively doing coke, obviously. But, the guy probably forgot to mention it. My .02.
