[quote=Anonymous]To answer OP's question: It really is the side effects. My best friend's son was on ADHD medication for about 10 years. He now has permanent verbal and physical ticks and now that he's off the meds he is obese (was normal weight before). It's enough to make me scared to use them as anything but a last resort if other methods don't work. The medication can be hugely effective, but there is sometimes a cost. It's all about whether the ADHD is severe enough to warrant that risk.[/quote]
