Managing Medication Side Effects
Medications are the primary treatment for ADHD for school age children through adults, but they can lead to side effects, which can lead to stopping treatment.
The risk of not adequately treating ADHD is real, so learning how to manage the side effects of medications is important.
In this talk for middle and high school students (and their parents) you will learn:
the most common side effects of medications
actionable steps to take for each of the most common side effects for better tolerance
tracking tools to help identify side effects and share with your prescriber
About the speaker: Dr. Kristen Stuppy is our ADHDKCTeen moderator and leads each talk.
Strategies vs Willpower: tackling executive dysfunction
Our parent group will be hearing about executive dysfunction and what you can do to manage all the tasks at hand. The talk is appropriate for teens, parents, and adults who need to learn tools to help manage life skills.
