[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]did you see a positive change? School is pushing us to do this after receiving neuropsych evaluation, but am reluctant to medicate DC. We have just started therapy and some other interventions and would like to move slowly. I also understand it can take some tweaking to get the right med and the right dose. OTOH, want DC to finish the few months of the school year behaving better and learning better. If you started a child on AHDH meds in or between K and 4th grades, what changes did you see and how soon?[/quote] We started medication for ADHD in 4th grade. The change was instantaneous. My DS wanted to go to school, was not as anxious, was able to learn. It didn't address all issues such as writing, executive functioning, etc.[/quote]
