[quote=Anonymous]Do the benefits of the medication outweigh the side effects? For both of my kids, medication was the only thing that helped. DS started at 5 and has learned to manage without--he's 15 now. DD started at 8 and she's still taking Adderall. She's 19 now. Both kids know how the meds make them feel and help or hinder and adjust as needed. I acknowledge you don't want to medicate but there really isn't any other consistent option. the teachers are telling you they are trying to help but cannot reach him. Work ramps up in MS as does class size which means even less direct instruction. Medicating now doesn't mean forever.[/quote]
