I looked up dexamphetamine on the internet and read that it is a possibly habit forming medication. So I may have been a little rash about your mom on this one. I guess I'm so used to getting all indignant about people mouthing off about meds when they don't have the faintest idea what they're talking about, that I jumped to conclusions. I still believe everything I said about dependence, but I see now your mom may have at least had a legitimate reason to question that med.
But Xanax is habit forming too. Is she okay with it because its a take as needed rather than everyday thing? All I can say is to take your doctor's advice into consideration as well as you mom's. And if you have to, get a second opinion, and even a third. This will help you decide what action to take, and might make your mom feel better.
