Should Adderall Be Started For ADD Now?
I just got a result back of 4.3 on a TSH for my 17-year-old son. Drew this test because he is getting ready to start Adderall for ADD. Doctor said it was okay to start the med, and then we will recheck thyroid in 6 months? Do you think I should get another opinion before starting this medication?

Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion it is safe to start the medications now and repeat the TSH after 6 months.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you
