[quote=Anonymous]Depends. We are in year 2 of an ADHD diagnosis for 7 year old DS. The diagnosing doctor told us to medicate or we would be sorry. We have gone in hard with lots behavioral modification, rewards, and praise to address the issues. He is still lagging in subjects at school, but behavioral issues have improved tremendously. Maturity seems to help as well. I struggle with the question of medicating, but ultimately we have decided against it. And so far, we are not sorry. Frankly, I recommend that anyone planning to medicate try the drug yourself. It is pretty strong stuff. It may not impact your decision, but it will at least give you some additional perspective.
