ADHD Stimulants

Can stimulants used to treat ADD/ADHD cause your pupils to enlarge?

I am no Doctor  but  these drugs can cause side effects, they shouldn't be used on Children never less adults.

I would call your Doctor and have them run some blood work and check the brain ,by doing other testing like a EEG and an MRI.witch should have been done before the drugs are even started.

Thanks for your comment. I am very aware of the side effects of these medications. I have also done research on these kinds of medication and learned that they have been using them since the 1930's and over 1 million pills were given to the soliders in World War 1. I also know that these medications can be neuro toxic meaning they can deplete your brain chemistry and fry your brain. I just have never heard of it dialating pupils.

you know it can fry you brain and you chose to take them?

The reason I told you to have your doctor do a EEG is because these drugs can cause Seizures as a side effect and to make sure that it is not happen to you.

Thank you dollyn for your comment- you bring up a good point. It is important to weigh the pros and cons of a medication before choosing to take it.

I will run the idea of an EEG across my doc and see what she says.
