[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is 13 and currently not medicated. We are considering meds, mostly because we are at a point where we need him to be able to focus and stay on task at school – especially going into HS next year - something has got to change. Before we try meds, we are exploring other options though, just to make sure we’ve done our research and tried what we can before we resort to meds. I’ve been reading about a lot of great benefits for ADHD kids who use weighted vests or lap pads at school. Not sure my kid would be on board with a vest, but I’m confident my kid would use a lap pad without complaint. I’m also considering a weighted blanket for at home. Has anyone tried this as a treatment for ADHD? I’d love to hear from anyone with experience or knowledge on this. [/quote] Op, a weighted blanket etc. isn't going to cut it. Please talk to an actual psychiatrist about your medication options.[/quote]
