Thanks for your question. Loss of appetite and headaches are listed in Adderall's drug information as potential side effects. Aditionally, changes in attitude (i.e. agitation, aggression, etc.) are listed as a more serious side effect in need of medical attention. You should talk to you doctor to make sure Adderall is the right drug for your son, as well as understanding these new symptoms. I hope this helps.
