Is there an ADHD medicine without side affects of lightheadness or dizziness? We tried Addrell & Addrell XR, this is the only side effect my son has.

Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.  I am not a medical professional and would not be able to offer you advice on medications. You should discuss any questions you may have about your medication with your doctor or your pharmacist. He or she would have the knowledge to understand your situation and how the medication may impact your life and interact with other medications you may be taking.

 

Each person is different and metabolizes medication differently.  While some may have side effects, others may not. It is impossible to say whether someone will experience certain side effects or whether a different medication will result in less side effects.
