Abstract

The long-term effects of amphetamine sulfate (5 mg AM and lunchtime, increasing to a mean dose of 17 mg/d, 0.52 mg/kg body weight, and a maximum of 45 mg/d) were evaluated in 62 children, aged 6 to 11 years, with ADHD treated for 15 months in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry University departments in Goteborg, Uppsala, Malmo-Lund, and Umea, Sweden.
