[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 312630, member: 2315"] Janet, My son was in no way groth stunted either he is 6'7" LOL! CM, I agree that for many kids these medications are a life saver esecially if they are prone to doing dangerous things like mine was. All- I just learned from the Association for the Help of Retarded Children's (AHRP) website the following: "In 2006, the FDA required makers of ADHD drugs to update the drugs' labels to warn of rare but increased risks for psychiatric problems, heart attacks and strokes. The FDA is conducting two more studies to determine the relation of ADHD medicines to death and stroke. One involves children and should be completed in the fall, while the other, in adults, likely won't be released until 2010." -Jared A. Favole That would explain why I was not informed 12 years ago since I do read all literature for prescribed and OTC medications. Also it seems that there are professionals weighing in on both sides of the debate. What to me seems to be a prudent approach would be to monitor the heart before starting and throughout the use of these types of drugs. In addition as stated by Smallworld a child's growth should also be monitered. [/QUOTE]
