ADHD meds and hallucinations

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090126/hl_nm/us_adhd_drugs

An FDA study suggests that the adverse effects of ADHD medications include hallucinations. One interesting point is that these side-effects were noted in Strattera and Provigil as well as in standard stimulant ADHD medications. Also noteworthy is the comment that Provigil was not approved as an ADHD treatment in children.

At the same time, some of the described adverse effects, such as incessant talking, sound like standard ADHD behavior to me.
