[quote=Anonymous]DC took an Adderall holiday this summer. DC grew 2 inches and gained 15 lbs. I know the growth might be part of a natural growth cycle, but I feel semi-confident that the weight gain is related to DC's enormous appetite this summer while off stimulants. DC's BMI was OK before and after the weight gain, but I think DC looks better now and performs better in sports (other than the mental/focus struggle while off medication). Is anyone else concerned that Adderall is stunting your kids' growth? Adderall has benefited DC during the school year, so I'm not jumping to stop, but I am concerned based on what I saw this summer.
