    My son has all a complex congenital heart defect and was recently diagnosed with ADHD. I’m concerned about putting him on any type of stimilant medication because of the heart defect. His cardiologist cannot recommend that he go on medication because it may create furthur complication. Does anyone have information on if this is safe, personal experiences, etc?

    Thank you!
