[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like there may be a higher risk of obesity with long term stimulant use.... https://newsatjama.jama.com/2014/03/17/long-term-stimulant-use-may-boost-obesity-in-children-with-adhd/[/quote] The problem with this kind of study is that the more severely effected kids are more likely to take medication. Is the obesity effect from the medication or due to poorer impulse control they would have had anyway? Personally, I am more worried about neurological damage that could not be attributed to ADHD itself or an existing comorbidity.[/quote]
