Q. Can ADHD and ADD medication harm you? My son is diagnosed as an ADHD and the Dr. recommended taking Ritalin

A. The whole issue is highly controversial. They were a lot of papers done on this question alone, some said Ritalin can give you cancer other works proofed it wrong (a much more extensive experiment I might say). The FDA gave a black box warning (medication that can cause death) only on Atomoxetine , which is not as effective like others anyway.
