This page has the side effects reported for ADHD drugs to Australia’s drug regulatory agency, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

CCHR has previously obtained the adverse drug reaction reports (ADRs – named Public Case Details) of various classes of psychiatric drugs several times. CCHR provides them here as a service to the public and in the interests of full transparency as they are no longer available from the TGA.

Exactly what these files of side effects are and how to use them is on the Side Effects page on this link: https://cchr.org.au/side-effects/

No one should stop taking any psychiatric drug without the advice and assistance of a competent medical doctor due to withdrawal syndrome (worsening of symptoms ― new ―not before experienced symptoms). The TGA has issued warnings concerning withdrawal syndrome.
