[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DC, who is a very competitive athlete (trains 12-15 hrs a week), recently got diagnosed with ADHD, the predominately inattentive type. I know that at some point very soon, we will need to make a decision as to whether to medicate or not. I have been reading about t[b]he side effects of the medications, many of which include fast heartrate, headaches, increased anxiety[/b] ... and wondering how that would interfere with their training. I am not seeking medical advice but just interested to hear about the experience of other parents who have gone through a similar diagnosis with their teen athletes. Thanks in advance.[/quote] Then reject any medications that cause those side effects in your kid if you're worried about that. My kid has never had any of these side effects with their meds. [/quote]
