[quote=Anonymous]When our daughter first started taking medication it worked but she strongly preferred being unmedicated. It took a few years before she was able to understand and articulate that the issue was she was experiencing a cloying medication side effect that wasn’t obvious to outsiders (she eventually described it as “feeling claustrophobic in her own brain”). As soon as we figured this out we switched her medication and the issue went away. I think it took a long time to figure that out because she was young and she didn’t know what a non-ADHD brain should feel like so she just assumed the side effect was what normal people feel like all the time. That may not be your issue but I wish someone had suggested it to me sooner so I could consider taking a different approach more quickly.[/quote]
