Ask your Doctor if it could be the meds I have heard of this before with adderall, so I suggest you speak to him and tell him whats going on ask to have her weaned off or changed I also suggest you google Adderall for your self and put in 'side effects ..Many parents because of side effects are using supplementation one recent study suggests ;Food supplement treatment od ADHD may be of equal efficiency ..All Children and especially those with learning difficulties,benefit form a Multiple vitamin-mineral supplement with anti oxidants .BComplex and Vitamin C ..many have also found Fish oil good ......
