| As a parent of an ADHD teen, I encourage other parents of younger children to continue to reevaluate your medicated kids. We started with meds, and realized after time that he had matured to a point that the meds were no longer necessary. You should try to avoid taking meds if possible!! |

We do med checks with our doctor every 3 to 4 months. Thanks for your advice! |

| ADHD 13 yo DS. We did not need to medicate until he sarted MS last year. When he started changing classes and the academic pressures went up, he reached a point where he could not compensate. |
