Episode Details

So, we've talked about every stimulant medication for ADHD under the sun and we understand them pretty well. Next, I will be discussing the adverse or side effects of these medications. What are the most common ones? Which should we take more seriously? And what can we do about them when they happen? I'll be discussing how to mitigate these adverse effects so that patients can take their stimulant medication that works for them, while not having to suffer from the side effects at the same time. I will go over most of the major ones today, but I will discuss cardiovascular effects and abuse potential on subsequent episodes.
