Focal RT was utilized in 58; 11 additionally had whole brain RT; and seven received no RT. Thirty were treated for hypersomnia and inattention, eight for hypersomnia alone, and rest for inattention. Modafinil was the first drug in 18 (27.7%), and methylphenidate in the others. Forty\u2010seven (72.3%), 45 (69.2%), and 49 (75.4%) were on thyroxine, cortisone, and growth hormones, respectively. There was no difference in pre\u2010 and post\u2010stimulant body mass index (BMI), heart rate, and BP. There was also no difference between modafinil and methylphenidate groups. Rate of height acquisition slowed on stimulants (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.0096). Thyroxine treatment correlated with increase in BMI after stimulants (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.04). Younger age (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.0003) and higher prestimulant BMI (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.0063) correlated with increased heart rate on stimulants, while higher age at RT (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=.016) correlated with elevated systolic BP on stimulants.
