The following is excerpted from a publication entitled Pediatric Pharmacotherapy, which exclusively addresses the use of drug therapy for children. This article talks about the side effects from drugs used to treat A.D.H.D. (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
“Anorexia, abdominal discomfort, insomnia and weight loss are common adverse effects associated with stimulant medications. In addition, the potential for growth suppression with stimulant medications continues to be a concern.
“Dexedrine and Ritalin may elevate blood pressure and heart rate. Clonodine may lower blood pressure but can cause rebound hypertension if stopped rapidly. [Liver] dysfunction has been reported...including liver enzyme elevation, clinical hepatitis and jaundice.” An additional list of side effects includes: “Decreased appetite, nausea, growth impairment, sleep disturbances, irritability, moodiness, agitation, dazed or withdrawn behavior, dizziness, development of tic disorder and ‘rebound phenomena’,” which is a term used to describe drug withdrawal/dependence symptoms when the medication is stopped.
One of the “solutions” for some of these side-effects is for the physician to “consider a comorbid diagnosis.” In other words, if the child exhibits certain side effects, he or she is often multi-diagnosed with additional behavioral disorders.

[ download from Haworth $ ] ABSTRACT: Over the past three decades, a syndrome, titled Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS), has been proposed to explain behaviors by a child who refuses to spend time with a parent and actually denigrates that parent within the context of a child custody dispute. The association of certain negative behaviors by one parent (called the 'alienator') towards the other parent (called the 'target parent') are said to be the cause of the child's (called 'alienated child') behavior. Although some mental health professionals and child custody evaluators, attorneys, and judges have been quick to accept and admit PAS as evidence in these disputes, especially in those that have cross-complaints alleging family violence, there has been no consiste...
