ADHD & ESTROGEN???

ADHD medication seem to be making my son very feminine. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just my child. I didn't notice it before. Need some medical background on this medication.

What are you noticing that seems “feminine”? Personality changes or physical changes? What medication is your son taking? There’s a variety of medications prescribed for ADHD. Most often stimulants. Stimulants are not known to effect hormones; they work on neurotransmitters. Some other non-stimulants medications may, as a side effect, cause weight gain, including in the chest region in boys. Is this what you are referring to?
