What are the ADHD Medications” Side Effects?
One big problem with stimulants is that it can increase the risk of cardiovascular problems in certain patients. Stimulants are also known to slow down growth. When a person stops taking stimulants the growth seems to resume, but the helpful effects of the stimulants end immediately. Another emerging problem with stimulants is hallucinations and psychotic symptoms. A recent study found that nine percent of children taking stimulants showed some type of psychotic symptoms where there had been none previously. Tics can be another result of stimulants.
