The stimulants are often used to treat AD/HD and other conditions. The most common stimulants are methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate-ER) and amphetamine (Dexedrine, Dexedrine Spansules, Adderall and Adderall XR.) We have been using these medications for years. Despite some dramatic media reports, the stimulants have a fairly good safety record.
When a medication gives you a symptom that you did not want, we call that symptom a side effect. Many individuals take stimulants with few side effects. Others experience mild problems. Some are simply unable to tolerate stimulants. Often we can treat annoying side effects so the individual can continue to take the stimulant. Too many people stop their medication instead of working with their physician to find a way to decrease side effects. On the other hand, stimulants can have the potential for real side effects. This is why it is a good idea to keep in close contact with your doctor, especially during the early stages of treatment.
[Let's repeat this salient point: stimulants can have the potential for real side effects...like tics, paranoia, seizures, depression, suicide, and inability to ever sleep for long stretches of time... Despite some dramatic media reports, the stimulants have a fairly good safety record]
