Dexedrine side effects

Hey guys,

So, after putting it off for three years we finally agreed to try meds to help our son improve his focus and reduce his impulsivity. His ped. prescribed dexadrine, and it has only been one day, but last night he could not fall asleep and was up until 1 or 1:30. I am worried that this will rebound and effect his behaviour in a negative way.

Does anyone know if the body gets used to the drug and eventually regulates sleep, or will this be a problem for us? He is such a good sleeper, it is NOT something I want to toy with....

Also, does anyone know why he would prescribe dexadrine and not Adderral? Just curious...

Thanks in advance for the help!
