[quote=Anonymous]Last year we got reports from my kids teachers that he would hide under his desk, rip up his work, go into the corner and just cry. He had zero friends. He refused to do a single thing in school. He was almost kicked off his sports team because he would scream and do unsafe behaviors. At home he would melt down for hours. He would tell me how he was sad all the time and could not figure out why.

He went on stimulant meds and it has been a complete 180. It is life changing. He was able to sit and participate in school, he went from zero work to writing pages and pages, he made friends. It basically completed ended meltdowns at home and he is able to participate and work hard in his sport. He told me his meds make him happy and have almost eliminated his social anxiety (it now takes him 5 mins to warm up to a group vs. hours).

Plus he is still the wonderful, funny, creative kid he always was. He just now has the ability to regulate his emotions.

We haven't had many side effects, some days he doesn't eat as much (but it isn't always and he hasn't lost any weight).
