The correct Answer is C


Anorexia with mild weight loss and difficulty falling asleep are common side effects of amphetamine treatment for ADHD. In most patients these side effects are tolerable and transient. While alternative drugs such as antidepressants can be substituted, these usually do not work as well and have their own potential side effects.
