I have a medication question?!
Question: I have a medication question.?
My 10 year old grand daughter will be starting on the medication called Adderall XL for ADHD. I am to give her the first dose tomorrow morning so I can "keep an eye" on her. Does anyone know how well this med. works and is there anything that I should be aware of that would be a danger sign.? Thank you!Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Don't panic, in the doses these are prescibed for ADHD there is not really any risk at all of problems.
The main reason they will want you to keep an eye on her is to see what the positive effects and improvements are. If there are not enough improvements then it isnt worth taking them mediaction and a different one should be tried. You should notice she concentrates better and sticks to things longer, if you sit with her and do an activity or read a book she should be able to attend longer. Generally her behavior should be better and she should be calmer.
Side effects may include a loss of appetitte or she may be a lot quiter than usual. Health Question & Answer
