Hope you can find a solution to this problem, sounds very scary if you ask me.. My son has adhd but we haven't had any problems like this.
Hello,
this is not an expected side effect of stimulant medications, and not at all typical behavior for a child. I would contact your prescriber immediately to report this behavior. I would also recommend you ask your primary care provider for a referral to a psychologist for a consultation. Your son desperately needs help managing his moods, and a psychologist can help him learn better coping strategies. Sometimes stimulants are associated with mood changes, so it would be helpful for you to find a psychologist who can consult with the prescribing physician to determine what is happening with your child.
Best Wishes
