Study of more than 1,300 patients linked risk for psychosis and mania to stimulants.

Higher doses of Adderall or dextroamphetamine are linked to higher risk, study finds.

The study found no link for methylphenidate, which is sold under the brand name Ritalin .

Past research has shown psychosis or mania occurred in less than 1% of people who took amphetamines.

But Kraguljac said having information from the study suggesting higher doses of prescription amphetamines may pose a risk to patients will be helpful to doctors switching their patients' medications. "It may be really prudent to know that a higher dose of Adderall may put people at additional risk, and to dose accordingly," Kraguljac said.
