My 20 year old, university going son has attention deficit issues. Retalin has been prescribed which helps a great deal but causes sleeping problem. What are the side effects if taken for several years. Can he ever overcome the attention deficit problem and stop taking this drug. What can be done to alleviate sleeping problem.
HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor In ADHD, retain is treatment of choice. Normally, in ADHD, symptoms decrease with age. There is nothing to worry about it. You have to just consult his psychiatrist for the severity of the symptoms and whenever, he will have mild symptoms, you can try to stop it. Rest, depends upon him, how he manages without medicine. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Thanks
