| What is it and what is the dose? Is it working? Are the side effects worse than the symptoms the meds are treating? My 11 year old daughter's ADHD is getting more unmanageable as she gets older. I think hormonal changes are the biggest reason, and we may need to start on meds next school year for her to function. My concern is that she is tiny, highly active, not a great eater, and not a great sleeper. Would starting meds just be trading one set of concerns for another? |
