Amphetamine Risks

Methylphenidate may be the go-to for ADHD, but amphetamines, while more effective, carry significant risks, including amphetamine-induced psychosis. This rare but severe condition can lead to paranoia and lasting psychotic states, affecting about 20% of those who experience it long-term. Many individuals remain unaware of these serious side effects, highlighting the need for better communication in ADHD treatment discussions.
