Sudden death and use of stimulant medications in youths. (Ritalin)

This is a couple of years old, but the study showed that Ritalin use in young children increased the possibility of sudden explained deaths with an odds ration of 7.4
A subsequent larger UK study failed to replicate this, but did find an increased risk of suicide with stimulants,  although the effects were small.
