E77: ADHD: Stimulants: Adverse (Side) Effects Part 2: Cardiac and Pregnancy

Today I will continue talking about potential adverse effects of stimulant medications. Last time I discussed several adverse effects, but today I will mostly be focusing on cardiac (heart) effects because those have gotten a lot of press, especially with a previous black box warning for this. I will also talk about use in pregnancy in this episode. Next time I will discuss substance abuse issues which will round out all of our potential adverse effects.
