[quote=Anonymous]We are exploring ADHD meds for DD15 (inattentive type) and very underwhelmed with our ped's knowledge of ADHD medication. Their advice is basically to just pick a stimulant and see if it works. Is that typical advice? I feel so disappointed in their lack of knowledge and desire to understand our daughter's struggles (she performs well at school but struggles with social/emotional issues and sound sensitivity). I am expecting this will involve adjusting and switching meds as we go - I just don't feel confident the ped is in the best place to guide us in this journey. What type of provider did you work with? Any recommendations (we are in Nova) or other advice starting the process of ADHD meds? DD is wanting to try meds to see if it will help her. Thank you in advance. [/quote]
