[quote=Anonymous]No offense to your uncle, but I think he’s giving bad advice. I had a very similar kid - diagnosed with inattentive in elementary, didn’t medicate until high school when things started really falling apart. We went to a psychiatrist who has continued to manage the meds. She felt relief immediately. We did switch up the meds some, finding one that wore off more smoothly and lasted through the afternoon and tweaked the dosage. It was amazingly helpful for her in school and her self esteem was taking a huge hit, so that turned around as well. Don’t let your fear of meds keep you from helping your son. Go to a psychiatrist who can explain them well and has a lot of experience with them.[/quote]
