Does Medication for add adhd cause you to gain weight? what are some of the side affects with the medications?
I have less of an appetite when on meds.
I'm on dexadrine, and that's said to be a weight loss drug.
Once in a great while, I read the enclosed information on a newly prescribed drug. I think it depends on the drug what the side effects are. Maybe check out the med you are thinking about, on the drug company's website.
My worst reactions to 2 or 3 meds I have been on in the past made my tongue swell up, my teeth chatter uncontrollably, and...when dexadrine wears off, my vision gets blurry.
