My 7 year old son has been taking Adderall XR for about 3 weeks and last week he told me he was hearing voices in his head. Different ones. They have mean voices. I asked his doctor about it and he said as long as they don't tell him to do anything we are ok. I am not comphorted with the Dr response. I am not sure if he is actually hearing them or if he is able to hear his thoughts, due to being able to consintrate. Has anyone had a simular experiance?

well, adderall is an anphetamine, which is VERY close to meth/speed and people who take speed or meth for long periods of time sometimes develop skitzophrenia(spelled wrong). That sounds like a very scary side effect of the drug, I would probably talk to the doctor about being uncomfortable with this and there are so many other drugs on the market that work just as well that may not have that side effect.
