Side Effects of Adderall
“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?”
What you describe ARE side effects of Adderall and your child should not have to live with them. Another medication should be considered. I suggest you find another doctor.
If you Google side effects of Adderall everything you list is clearly indicated as a side effect. If the doctor is saying this to you, you need to find a new doctor.
