Are stimulant medications safe?
Under medical supervision, stimulant medications are considered safe. Stimulants do not make children with ADHD feel high, although some kids report feeling slightly different or “funny.” Although some parents worry that stimulant medications may lead to substance abuse or dependence, there is little evidence of this.
