[quote=Anonymous]Does he not get negative feedback from teacher/peers when he is not taking his meds? I have a 9 year old DC with ADHD combined who has been taking meds (concerta) for three years. Starting last year, DC was not excited /slightly unwilling to take their meds. Felt like taking medication implied there was something “wrong” with them, and accused us of trying to change their personality. But then DC accidentally forgot to take their pill one morning and had a really bad day. I didn’t even know until a couple of weeks later when DC mentioned that one of their classmates called them “annoying” and I asked why, and then it came out what a bad day that had been. I am sad this happened to DC but I am glad they now have the self-awareness to see how their behavior impacts how other people treat them. DC has also been in lots of therapy to work on that, so that may also be helpful. [/quote]
