Health Tip: Take ADHD Medication as Prescribed

12/1/2006

(HealthDay News) -- Medications used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be very effective if taken as prescribed by your doctor.

But these medicines can trigger serious side effects if taken by a person who does not have ADHD, or if you take more than what is prescribed.

Here are potential side effects of overdosing on an ADHD medication, courtesy of the Nemours Foundation:

Tremors and shaking.
Extremely high blood pressure and increased heart rate.
Rapid breathing.
Delusions, confusion, paranoia or hallucinations.
