Re: need opinions...i called cps...

I don't think I'd call CPS over this. But you were concerned and you called them. Now you wait for the investigation and the fallout. Your three levels of being upset are valid concerns, just not ones I'd take up with CPS.

You say you and your ex have a toxic relationship which is like why he attempted to self medicate the child without talking to you. This is wrong but likely why he didn't mention the issues he has with son.

I do agree the dad shouldn't be giving him meds that aren't prescribed. Finz mentioned dad sharing more harmful drugs, which I think would cause me to call CPS. But giving an ADHD diagnosed child the smallest dosage of an ADHD medication isn't going to do it, for me.

I would definitely use this as a learning tool for your child. At nine years old, he can understand the values you are teaching including being honest and not taking other people's medicine. Perhaps this call to CPS will keep your ex from attempting to self medicate in the future.
