Answer to Question 1

Some side effects are relatively minor, such as decreased appetite, increased heartbeat, and sleeping difficulties. Others are more serious, such as an increase in motor tics in a small percentage of cases. Some delays in growth have been noted but rebound after medication is discontinued.

Answer to Question 2

The use of convenience samples is not a problem in studies where the convenience sample is the same as the population of interest, such as studies of the effectiveness of medication or therapy techniques for people in therapy. Such samples are problematic, however, when conclusions about causality are drawn and generalizations are made to larger populations.
