[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has ADHD-I and is unmedicated right now. Insomnia is such a huge deal for her. What are the chances that we/she will be able to manage the ADHD without meds? [b]I've always heard the medication is the first line of defense[/b] and allows the behavioral treatments to be accessible to kids with ADHD. But we are afraid that medication will make her sleep issues unbearable.[/quote] That really is for ADHD-H or predominantly H. Some people with I are helped by meds, some are not. And sleep issues make everything worse, whatever the diagnosis (or NT). [/quote] Right. We're meeting with her pediatrician to tackle the sleep stuff head on. Her worst, scattery, spacey days are the days when she hasn't slept well or falls asleep super late. It's definitely an issue.[/quote]
