Side effect - Psychotic children may experience exacerbation of symptoms of behavior disturbance and thought disorder.
Side effect - Concurrent use of meperidine is not recommended, as it may potentially result in hypotension, severe respiratory depression, coma, convulsions, hyperpyrexia, vascular collapse, and death in some patients due to the monoamine oxidase inhibition properties of amphetamines.
