A member asked:

Could you tell me the pros and cons of adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) long term use?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many for both: The subject is complicated and can not be answered in 400 letters. A quick summary: pros: efficacious in adhd, narcolepsy, traumatic brain injury. Few long term side effects- height not affected overall in adult life, decreased weight persists but not unhealthy. Minimal short term s.E.- delay of sleep onset, reduced appetite, weight loss, tics, stomach-ache, headache, and jitteriness.
