Is it a bad idea to give stimulant meds like ritalin (methylphenidate) and concerta to a person after 50s ? is it dangerous?

As long as there are: No specific cardiovascular risk factors, I have not seen any trouble prescribing adhd medication two people who truly have adhd pissy age of 60 and even in lower doses in their 70s. I think when it comes to this discussion we also have to realize that as people age there adhd or add can often worsen. These people have no reason to have their drivers licenses taken from them. The data in teenagers i believe can be extrapolated into adulthood. Being on an adhd medication can of car accidents tremendously. Teenagers who were not treated for their adhd have four times the number of car accidents and five times the number of fatal car accidents then those were treated. I believe it to be the same for adults.Not treating can have fatal outcomes as well as outcomes ending in divorce, impulsive abusive of spouses, and many other problems that simply go away when the adhd is properly treated.

Relative: Relative cotraindication. Some conditions are still helped by these mess even for those over 50. Need to be monitored for BP heart more carefully?
