[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working with sp ed students, I would say if your child can be successful in school without medication then by all means do not medicate. However, if they cannot be successful, or struggle a whole lot, then trying medication is a good idea.[/quote] Even if a child can succeed in school without medication, there may still be major benefits to medicating him or her. I have inattentive AS HE & was not medicated growing up. I did very well in school but really suffered emotionally because of my symptoms & my self esteem took a major hit. Looking back, my childhood & teenage years would likely have been a lot happier & I almost certainly would have entered adulthood with a lot more self confidence had I been medicated. My day-to-day life is so much less frustrating now that I am taking Adderall.[/quote]
