I am very concerned about my son. He is 12 years old. He has adhd and we are trying to fight against it. But he has caused me a problem now. Doctor has prescribed him adderall. He was taking it last two months 5 mg twice a day. But he has stopped taking it last week without my knowledge. I have heard that it is dangerous to stop taking adderall suddenly. What to do, what can happen?

First I must criticize you a little. You have to watch out for kid especially when he is taking drug. He is still too little to know importance of taking medications. If he is feeling good then it is good because he doesnt suffer from side effects that can occur in adderall withdrawal. Things that can happen are depression, cardiac difficulties like irregular beating and addiction. Anyway took him to the doctor, explain the situation and act according to his advice.
