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!
