ADHD drugs and hallucinations

On Monday the U.S. FDA released the news that drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can cause children to have hallucinations – even when taken as directed. Researchers analyzed data from 49 clinical studies conducted by makers of the drugs, and found that they can cause psychosis and mania in some patients. In some cases, children hallucinated that worms, bugs, or snakes were crawling on them.
