The concern is that maybe tere is a connectiopn between Adderall and the death of ten pstients from stroke. Amphetamines can produce high blood pressure ina minority of patients ( alas I am one of that minority) so important that your pediatrician monitors your daughters BP.)
In fact the evidence is very scanty.
Adderall, dexedrine and ritalin are the three common stimulants used for adhd. Everyone seem sto react differently to each. ADHD children who are prescibed any of these stimulants seem to have a lower rate of drug use than others
> I don't know much about Adderall or the other ADD medications, so can you tell me why this had been banned in Canada? What is the difference is Adderal and Dexedrine? Does one work better than the other for concentration, or does one become addicted to Adderall and not Dexedrine? I am trying to figure this out from reading the posts and am having a hard time. My daughter was just put on Adderall for Bipolar and depression, because she is having a hard time concentrating at school and her grades are falling. She is taking 20mg each morning. She is only on her 4th day, and says she really can't tell any difference yet. Thanks. -L
