Medication can be a game-changer for managing ADHD — but what happens when the side effects cause problems?
If you or your child are taking ADHD medication and struggling with issues like appetite loss, sleep disruption, mood swings, or rebound effects, you’re not alone.
Join us for an informative and supportive online event where we’ll talk about how to recognize, manage, and minimize common side effects of ADHD medications. You’ll hear from Dr. Kristen Stuppy, one of our Board members and a pediatrician experienced in ADHD management, who will explain:
✅ Why side effects happen — and what’s normal
✅ Tips for communicating with your prescriber
✅ How to track and troubleshoot side effects
✅ When to adjust, switch, or stop medication
This session is perfect for parents, adults with ADHD, and teens who want to better understand the pros and cons of medication and how to make informed decisions as part of a personalized treatment plan.
💬 Bring your questions — we’ll leave time for Q&A!
🎟 Free to attend, but registration is required:

We look forward to seeing you there!
