Written and produced by "STONES" creators Tom Lycos and Stefo Nantsou.

Side Effects is a twisted comedy and a powerful drama about a boy who will not sit down. Oli refuses to listen to his parents, fails to settle in class and drives everyone from his martial arts master to his brother and sister to exasperation. After an explosive altercation, Oli is taken to a specialist who prescribes… medication.

The medication works, but then the side effects begin.

Side effects explores the increase in the diagnosis of young people with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and the use and abuse of prescription medication to treat the behavioral and learning difficulties.
