Does Taking Adderall For ADHD Have Any Side Effects?
I have ADHD. I am taking Adderall it helps me alot. My family does not want me to take this during the summer and on the weekends because they say that it can affect the way I grow and that its is chemicals going into my body so it is very bad for me. This medecine really helps me focus and I beleive it makes me choose the right decision. Enough said do you think it is right that they do not allow me to have this medecine.

Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In this situation I would suggest your growth be monitored so that it can be decided whether you need drug holidays for the growth catch up to occur.
Also drug holidays in vacations and on weekdays are ok if you dont have to things which require your focus.
I hope I have helped you
Thank you
