The authors also presented incidence data <strong>of</strong> side-effects reported by teachers <strong>and</strong> mean<br />
severity ratings reported by both parents <strong>and</strong> teachers<br />
Conclusions Authors’ conclusions: Parent ratings indicated that decreased appetite, insomnia, stomach aches <strong>and</strong> headaches increased significantly in frequency <strong>and</strong><br />
severity during <strong>the</strong> two active medication doses compared with placebo. Stimulant medications, when given in <strong>the</strong>rapeutic doses, are generally safe <strong>and</strong><br />
produce only minor degrees <strong>of</strong> side effects in most children with ADHD<br />
