Watch my interview from Maryland Public Television live 15 minute interview by Jeff Salkin on Direct Connection with Jeff Salkin on January 30, 2012 Monday at 7:30 pm discussing the recent problematic shortage of ADHD stimulant medications. I offered explanations for the shortages and “work arounds” for patients. Let me know what you think.
David W. Goodman, M.D.
Because of my recognized expertise in ADHD, I’m honored to have been invited to speak as a featured quest on Maryland Public Television’s program, Direct Connection with Jeff Salkin on January 30, 2012 Monday at 7:30 pm.
I will be addressing the stimulant shortage over the past several months-possible causes, the routes of manufacturing medications, the distribution of medications across the country, the sporadic availability of these medications, suggestions to physicians and patients on how to avoid shortages or alternative medications when shortages occur.
This problem now plagues those patients and family who use these medications in order to function at their highest level. The absence of medication may severely compromise ones ability to perform consistently thus increasing anxiety.
Join us and listen to my commentary and suggestions.
David W. Goodman, M.D.
