[quote=Anonymous]Its strange that your doctor wants to put your child on meds for ADHD. Your pediatrician usually plays the role of balance trying to minimize meds or dosage to reduce side effects with the teachers or psychiatrists being more gun ho to up the dosage. My DC has been on meds for 2 years but we go off for the summer. They make a big difference in her ability to finish tasks and not fall behind academically. They do have side effects do its always a balance. If DD didn't have boring school work then she would be on them. [/quote]
