[QUOTE="runawaybunny, post: 366378"] [URL='http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/06/18/us-adhd-drugs-idUSTRE65H4DX20100618'][B]ADHD drugs have no long-term growth effects: study - Reuters[/B][/URL] Neither attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) nor medications used to treat it have a long-term impact on kids' growth, a new study published online in The Journal of Pediatrics suggests. "There have been concerns in the literature about the use of ADHD medications and their effect on growth," Dr. Stephen Faraone, a psychiatrist at Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York, and one of the study's authors, told Reuters Health. "We found that that (growth) delay tends to be most prominent in the first year or so, and tends to attenuate over time." [/QUOTE]
