    Side Effects of Adderall
Q:
"Since my 7-year-old son has been taking Adderall, he has had a decrease in appetite, difficulty sleeping, depressed thoughts, and anxiety. His doctor says they're not side effects, so what's going on?" 
A:
What you describe ARE side effects and your child should not have to live with them. Another medication should be considered. I suggest you find another doctor.
