Thank you for the link. When I started seeing my current doctor, they tried scare mongering by claiming stimulants can cause Parkinsons. There is a study to back this up [1,2], but I was skeptical of it since they didn't seem to control for the fact that someone with ADHD but not on stimulants could either have less intense ADHD or perhaps have some other confounding condition. The study authors actually mention: "The association of ADHD patients prescribed psychostimulants with higher risk of diseases of the basal ganglia and cerebellum may reflect a more severe ADHD phenotype rather than a direct association between prescribed stimulant use and basal ganglia or cerebellum disorders."[2] It's somewhat encouraging to see that this seems to be true and increased chance of Parkinson's is likely due to the severity of ADHD and not due to medication which helps people with ADHD be functional.
