[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are on the verge of medicating 7 yo DC for inattentive ADHD that is really affecting him academically and socially. We know it is the right thing to do, but it would be helpful to hear some encouragement from those who have been down this road. If your child benefited from medication under these circumstances, can you share your experience and explain what changed for the better?[/quote] DD was 7 when we medicated too. I regret not doing it sooner. She struggled with reading prior to it and had a number of behavioral/social incidents that she misinterpreted and escalated. She was crying all the time and unable to address her anxiety. Medication wasn't a silver bullet, but it was life changing for all of us, to the point where I actually medicated her the moment she woke up for awhile just so we could reset in the mornings.[/quote]
