[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In K and 1st, DC's teachers told us that he roamed all over the classroom and hardly ever sat in his chair but they weren't concerned. Then 2nd grade was virtual - and he didn't do it. We saw a psychologist who diagnosed him and recommended he start stimulant meds when he went back to school so that he would be able to stay in/near his seat, which would be required due to covid. So we did, and he did. We are in Virginia and pick up a paper scrip monthly and deliver it to the pharmacy. We have checkup appointments every 6 months. [/quote] ^ Initially, I felt bad that we were giving DC medication just to sit down and stay still - but the meds have also helped him with emotional regulation and just "dealing" with life. We take med breaks on weekends and longer breaks so we can see the difference, and tbh I'm not sure that med breaks are the best thing to do, for him and the rest of the family. [/quote]
