take the drugs, that way you can ensure your child's brain never develops the neural pathways he will need to cope. After the meds stop working after a year or so...you can introduce other drugs...and so on, and so on. Why oh why are so many kids being diagnosed with add and adhd... Etc... Hmmmmmm....

?? Or just a mom with a 5 year old whose greatest impairment from ADHD was social functioning, until we started meds and he made major progress... Yes, I use drugs when warranted.

Do you even understand how these medications work. Ironically, review studies show that MRIs of those on meds for long term look more similar to non-ADHD brain images than to I medicated ADHD peers. So perhaps the medications facilitate the correct neural pathways to finally be utilized.
