[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drugs aren't the only way, though. Kids do really well with behavior training. Drugs aren't effective long term. They just give you an 18-24 month window to get things under control. [/quote] Well thats BS. My DS has been on meds for years and they are extremely effective. I know this because I know what happens when he doesn't take them. If you are paying attention to these posts you'll see that studies do not back up behavioral training.[/quote] It is absolutely effective over the short term. In the short term, it is more effective than behavior therapy alone. We've known that since about 1999. however, it is not effective over the long term for most people. For most people, the effectiveness of medication for managing symptoms fades at about three years out. All treatment groups show improvement after about 14 months. http://eideneurolearningblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/adhd-drugs-no-long-term-benefits.html[/quote]
