[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 105958, member: 805"] Good Morning Chistal, Couple things about adderall. My son has been on it about four years now and it is a great medication for him. But, every child is different and every child metabolizes medications differently. The most common side effects include decreased appetite and increased aggitation. Word of caution - very often in children who have been diagnosis'd with bi-polar, stims are not effective and are many times counter productive. It can increase mania. It is important that the BiPolar (BP) is stabilized before adding stims. That has been the experience of many families on the board. What is it that makes the doctor feel your son is adhd? I see he's only five, has he been having trouble in school or daycare with impulse control, hyperactivity or focus (in my opinion, most little boys are hyper and unfocused when that young!!).
