I'm not the type be out spoken I leave my opinions to myself. But when it involves a innocent & helpless child. As a parent it's our responsibility to take care of our kids needs and to ALWAYS keep they're VERY best interest a priority. With that being sad it's so disturbing to me as a mom that you didn't take the time to ask questions & research a NEW medication being prescribed that it's purpose was to help your kids loose weight. Assuming this wasn't the first time they're weight was a concern and again assuming that the doctor didn't choose a controlled substance as the first option. Diet, exercise, lifestyle changes , ect. Me and my 5yr old are both diagnosed with ADHD. I'm on Adderal xr however because I know 1st hand what side effects are and all the risks that come with short term and long term use. I've chosen to do alternative therapies other than medication to help with my daughters daily obstacles. And a stimulant will be my VERY last choice. I hope you do your research before making any decisions concerning your Children's health and well being. Obesity is a epidemic how ever it can be reversed without ever taking any "magical" fix all pill. I'm just really truly disturbed on so many levels. Shame on that doctor for NOT informing you and educating you about this medication. Just because doctors are medically educated people, it doesn't mean they have compassion or they're patients best interest in mind. The saying goes "NO question is a stupid question." keep that in mind in the future pertaining to your kids most importantly. I would definitely recommend having they're doctor taper down the dose. And I'd suggest in the meantime you research what can be expected when getting off (any) controlled substance because it causes the body to physically with draw. I pray that you nor your children suffer And continue a long and healthy life.

This medicine when it first came out a long time ago was called dexatrim and was used for weight loss. It was over the counter and they found out that some people were abusing it so now it needs a prescription. They also found out that it helps people pay attention better and it is now used almost just for that. It is pretty safe if you follow the directions on the bottle.

I too have ADD. I don't think this she meant to say sickness. You can tell by the way she wrote. I give her credit for trying to write properly. But like said before, Adderall is used as an ADD/ ADHD medication aswell as a medication to help with obesity. I as a parent would not choose a pill to help their situation. Adderall makes people, who don't have a chemical imbalance, very hyper which can also give irregular heart beat and can lead to other problems. You should talk with your doctor about putting the children on individual diet plans. Since they both have lost a significant amount of weight, I think its safe for then to stop. This drug can be very addictive.

Why would you call ADHD a sickness? Were not sick. Its like saying someone with cancer has a cold. It's wrong. Also Pay attention to grades and other activitys. Im sure you can notice more than weight loss if you pay attention. I been on this medication for a few years alog with other before this. It works wonders, you dont have to be so closed minded about it. Alot more people have ADHD or ADD than you may think its just not put out for gossip. Its keep quiet so we dont have to hear uninformed people say we have a sickness.

The drugs your kids are taking is basicly generic adderall, this medication as the person before said that lots of meds have multiple use's, this medication has a very high abuse potential. Its street name is speed, this drug is almost the same as methamphetamine so be very careful about who knows your children and you are prescribed this Med.

You will find that many medications have multiple uses and this is one of them. Amphetamine salts are stimulants that can be used to treat many conditions, including ADHD, Narcolepsy and Obesity.

As a matter of fact, weight loss and anorexia can be among the side effects it can cause, when used to treat the other conditions. They may also experience nausea, irritability and headache.
