Adderall For Children
The FDA has authorized Adderall to treat ADHD in children aged 3 to 17 and narcolepsy in children six and older. However, Adderall XR is only allowed for use in children six years of age and up. Unfortunately, the long-term repercussions of the pediatric usage of amphetamines have not been well-studied.
One prominent and widespread negative effect of Adderall is the development inhibition in youngsters. Over time, children using Adderall may grow less weight and height than normal children. For children, Adderall may be withdrawn if they are falling behind in growth.
