Does Taking ADHD Medication Cause Headaches?
My 7 year old son complains of headaches at least 3 times a week and I wonder if it could be his ADHD medicine. His appetite seems to decrease little when he is on his medicine but he has always been a small boy. The headaches will come out of nowhere and be very intense. I worry it could be something else?

Hello.Usual ADHD medication can cause headaches (especially when starting treatment) but it is recommended that your child be seen by a Pediatrician to rule out other causes of headache.
