[quote=Anonymous]DH has inattentive adhd, but he manages and never needs medication in his life. DS10 has adhd combined, but he seems to manage and does well with no medication. We hold off medication until he really needs it. He can sit still and focuses for long hours if it is needed. He lacks confidence even though he is strong in academic. He has high anxiety and high ego, but he pushes himself a lot because he is a perfectionist. DD7 has adhd combined, and she seems to struggle a lot with inattention and focus at school learning. She is a sweet girl and she just wants to play at school. She is really skinny, 40 lbs only. She lacks confidence. We hesitate to give her adhd medication because of below questions. Can someone answer from your or your child experience?

1) Does adhd medication gear toward to treat hyperactive than inattention?
2) Does adhd medication cause anxiety, could not fall asleep, and reduce appetite which may stunt growth?
3) Does kid that take adhd medication most likely need to take adhd medication for the rest of his/her life?
4) Does adhd medication really flush out of body daily which does not cause any harm to the body physically or mentally?

Both of my kids and DH have high functioning autism if that matters.
