Isn't that somewhat of a survivor bias? People with ADHD on stimulants would typically have little to no side-effects because if they had moderate to severe side-effects, then I doubt a medical professional would keep them on stimulants.
I treat my ADHD with stimulants, and I would say there are definitely side-effects, but the side-effects are mostly manageable.
While I do benefit from stimulants, I personally believe the benefits are exaggerated, and apparently the Cochrane Library does not disagree with me:
