This is for people that have small children just starting out on ADHD & ADD meds. If your child takes these meds for a long period of time it will stunt the growth of your child. When their real young, about 2-3, this will have a great effect on them. No one let me know that it would do this to my daughter. She's 10 years old and she's only 52 lbs. & 3'11''. Hopefully she will catch up soon. It's starting to really bother her now that shes in 5th grade. Get a good doctor!

Thanks for this post. This is an important issue. We have had some other posts about this issue in the past:

I hope this info helps.
