Serious or worrisome side effects of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication require immediate input from your doctor. Don't wait for your next regularly scheduled appointment. For example, some medications may cause insomnia, which can exacerbate ADHD symptoms, so address sleep troubles promptly.
