Hello, My Son Had His 11 Year Old "well-child" Check

Hello,
My son had his 11 year old "well-child" check up and shots this afternoon. Our concern is that the nurse reported he has shrunk .5" over the last 3 months and is currently measuring 4' 11". I am thinking that it was an error on their part. We will measure him against the wall in the garage when we get home. My question is regarding height percentile indications. He has always in the 95th and now he is 81st. Is it possible that the Adderall is stunting his growth? He has been on 15mg./day for a year. Is there an alternative without this as a side effect?
