[quote=Anonymous]Crazy responses op, highly recommend moving this to the special needs forum and you will get a response from parents who also have kids with ADHD and had to wrestle with this decision.

We chose to medicate even earlier and I have never regretted it for a second. Best decision we have made for our child if I'm being honest. We tried everything - diet changes, neurofeedback, therapy. None of it even remotely touched things and medication SIGNIFICANTLY improved life for our child and us. It is the first line treatment for ADHD for a reason, it is helpful for most and most other treatment is frankly not that effective from what I've read and experienced.

Consider the side effects of not medicating, your child's sense of self worth, confidence, sense of self can all be impacted and that is worthy of considering too.

Medication should be taken seriously, it is not without side effects as well but for us they have been minimal (first med had more, switched and second has been great) and it is worth considering.

I read so many old DCUM threads when trying to decide and there are some where people asked if anyone has regrets and almost all the responses were either no or my only regret is not starting sooner.
