Adderall

by Debi C., Nov 09, 1999 12:00AM

Tags: Addiction, years

My son who is 14 years old just started taking Adderall, 5 mgs in the a.m. and 5 mgs in the p.m. for A.D.D. After the drug wears off, he has been more violent, aggressive, uncontrollable, and intolerable. Is this a side effect of the drug?
