General information about ADHD
In these sections the user will be able to access information about ADHD, its repercussions, the available medications and the adverse effects they produce. We hope that this information will be useful in deciding on ADHD treatment preferences.
Stopping treatment because of adverse side effects
All medications used to treat ADHD produce adverse side effects. In some cases, these are tolerated by the patient, but in other cases they are not, and the patient stops the treatment. Stopping treatment due to adverse side effects varies widely between the various medications used to treat ADHD.
What is meant by “treatment withdrawal due to adverse side effects”?
All medications used to treat ADHD produce adverse side effects. In some cases, these are tolerated by the patient, but in other cases they are not, and the patient stops the treatment. Stopping treatment because of adverse side effects gives us a general idea of the frequency of moderate or severe side effects.
In short-term treatments, lasting weeks or a few months, 3% of people with ADHD being treated with medication stop treatment because of adverse side effects. However, with some treatments this proportion can be higher than 10%. This figure is 2 or 3 times higher than that observed among patients not receiving active medication.
