Dexidrine is used to treat ADHD, and is a rather safe med. I would go ahead and try it, with this in mind, Not all meds work for everyone. Side effects are the same as any other stimulant, appetite issues, sleeplessness,etc. I look at it like this, Would you deny him glasses if he needed them? Denying him meds is not allowing him to learn and grow socially to his full potential
