[quote=Anonymous]Medication can be helpful but not on its own, as others have pointed out. Therapy and organizational help also often are needed. DS has been on medication for ADHD since he was 6. When it works well, it can be so beneficial. But it's true that kids outgrow dosages or medications stop working well. We're about to increase a medication that has worked well and hope it regains its effectiveness. Not medicating is a disservice to kids. I would not worry about changes in personality, low effect etc These are basically myths (obviously, there are some kids who can't take these meds for a variety of reasons but the medication does not turn the vast majority of kids into zombies -- it just doesn't happen. Good luck![/quote]
