Look at any medical website and click on ADHD medication side effects. What comes up? A whole list of recommendations that your child must follow before even starting on these meds. They range from having a heart check up, blood pressure, stunted growth and sleep problems. We have not even started taking them yet! But these are all the side effects in a nutshell.
Then have a look at the FDA site to see what the ADHD medication side effects are according to the official version. I went there to-day although I felt wary about going there as I knew it would be a scary experience. It was!
First of all, there are approximately 1,500 entries for ADHD on their database. Then I checked Adderall which has 350 entries and looked specifically for the side effects. Basically, this amphetamine like medicine is still a Class II drug and strictly controlled due to risk of abuse.
