built 607 days ago
A single-dose of Adderall appears to be as effective as 2 daily doses of Ritalin. This increases the possibility of administering it without involving the school in giving. In addition, children who have previously been unsuccessfully treated with Ritalin because of adverse side effects or poor response may be respond better to it.

On February 9, 2006, Federal science advisers voted narrowly on proposing the most serious type of warning labels for Adderall, Concerta, Ritalin and all other ADHD drugs. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) Committee voted 8-7, recommending the adding of “black box” safety warnings to ADHD drugs. Doctors prescribe ADHD drugs to approximately 2 million children and 1 million adults a month.

At present, there has been no experience with long-term Adderall therapy in children. However, other amphetamine-based medications have been known to stunt growth, so your doctor will need to watch the child carefully.
