ADHD stimulants apparently suppress growth?

Long-Term Suppression Of Growth
Careful follow-up of weight and height in children ages 7 to 10 years who were randomized to either methylphenidate or nonmedication treatment groups over 14 months, as well as in naturalistic subgroups of newly methylphenidate-treated and nonmedicationtreated children over 36 months (to the ages of 10 to 13 years), suggests that consistently medicated children (i.e., treatment for 7 days per week throughout the year) have a temporary slowing in growth rate (on average, a total of about 2 cm less growth in height and 2.7 kg less growth in weight over 3 years), without evidence of growth rebound during this period of development. Published data are inadequate to determine whether chronic use of amphetamines may cause similar suppression of growth; however, it is anticipated that they likely have this effect as well. Therefore, growth should be monitored during treatment with stimulants, and patients who are not growing or gaining height or weight as expected may need to have their treatment interrupted.

as if my manlet genes werent enough....

yeah ive read about this before, however im not sure if its a causation of side effect(loss of appetite) ending you in caloric deficit, which may limit growth? im glad i didnt take it when i was young. ive started taking 1 year ago(twice daily) and built a lot of muscle(around 16kg), so theres no problems on that part for me. im 23 btw

i grew up with an ADHD spaz friend who was constantly needing to go to the school office to get his meds every day. He ended up being a manlet, except he still got laid left and right in high school because this was pre-social media and he had that rare form of sperg that makes you into a IDGAF alpha and hyperactive turbomanlet.

always wondered if he was manlet because of the drugs, his absentee father was actually normal size from what I remember.

Yeah they do at least a little, but still my cousin was the only person in my family on them and he's also noticably the tallest

Yes, this sucks for us stimulantcels who want to heightmax as well.
Melatonin can help a bit with this issue.

Other factors may be circadion rythm disruption, negative corticosteroid induced bone effects,

It was inconclusive from my search whether HGH is suppressed from stimulants.
