E79: ADHD: Stimulants: Adverse (Side) Effects Part 3: Substance Abuse Risk

Season 2 Episode 14 Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Today I will wrap up the last episode on adverse effects of stimulant medications used to treat ADHD. I will be discussing the black box warning regarding abuse, misuse, and addiction. This risk is very much overstated, and it leads to providers withholding potentially life changing medication from a lot of patients, so today I will be going over the scientific research on how risky these medications are, when to worry about it, and what to do when actual concern exists, so you won't want to miss this one!
