This post is a couple years old now, and I don't know exactly when they began to appear, but all three of those medications (and many more anti-depressant medications) now carry some pretty stern
"Black Box Warnings" ordered by the
FDA concerning use by minors and suicidal depression, severe mood swings, and more, and in the case of
Vyvanse, tolerance and dependence issues.
In the links below, the
"Black Boxes" are those warnings with the
Yellow Bar across the top.
