[quote=Anonymous]My son's diagnosis was primarily inattentive although I thought he was more hyperactive. It doesn't really matter. He started on meds in 3rd grade and has taken the same pill that he started on- Vyvanse. The only difference is the dosage as he has grown. Yes, it does impact appetite but he is small for his age anyway due to genetics (sorry buddy!). No sleep issues now that he is in middle school and is growing so much. I would imagine my son would've been depressed without the meds. He already felt like he was "bad" way back in 2nd grade. Years of behavior charts and trips to the office will make you feel like a real loser. I knew it was time for meds when he came home crying saying that he didn't want to be bad anymore.[/quote]
