I found these pills in my brother's room. He is currently on a court mandated sobriety and I am concerned about finding these. They obviously were'nt prescribed for him, as I found them in a plastic baggy. Before I go postal on him and flush them, I want to make sure they aren't a type of OTC asprin. Can anyone help?

Thank You
Thanks, I was afraid it was an opiate or benzo. Still going down the toilet, but at least now I know what it was. My brother does not have ADHD, so I am interested to know why on earth he had those. Thanks again.

I've heard of teenagers
I've heard of teenagers abusing these for just what you said. Those kind of medications give them a quick boost, or buzz like speed does. I guess you could call it the kiddie version. either way, they are becoming a more abused medication...
