It is probably something that will go away, or totally unrelated. Nope, unrelated problem.It only happened this morning no more than that but, he had such a hard time falling asleep tonight didnt fall asleep until 10 45  after being in bed at normal time of 7 45  

 

trouble falling asleep is a common side effect.  It should diminish over time... getting some exercise end of the day/evening might help -- usually works for me! 

My son was just diagnosed ADHD and we just started Medication this weekend, doctor wanted me to try it at home first so I can watch for side effects. Well he is taking Adderall  and yesterday no real symptoms he did say his stomach hurt but only for a few min. and then he was fine. Well this morning I gave it to him and about 30 min. later he started with diarrhea. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this as a symptom and if they did, does it go away or is this something to expect everytime?  I could actually tell a huge difference in his behavior and self control but, it is not worth having diarrhea every day !!

Actually diarrhea could be a side effect - in that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) if there can be irritated by stimulants.  I too got both sides of that spectrum when starting dexedrine (both diarrhea and alternately constipation).  It soon went away on its own thankfully.
