Taking Adderrall. Urinates In Pants And Is Embarrasing. Any Side Effects?

Hi my 8 year old son started taking adderrall couple months ago, school pushed for it, but pees his pants at night at school wherever. So embarrassing for him, never had this problem before, talked his dr said not a side-effect. I stopped his meds for a week and no more accidents, but school noticed unfocused. I don't know what to do, any ideas.

Greetings of the day

Adderal is Amphetamine and usually used for Hyperactive attention deficit disoreder, its not to be taken without proper prescription and consultation from Pediatrician. As your son is doing well without it, would suggest you to discontinue.
