[quote=Anonymous]Putting aside the people that are just anti-meds generally, I think most people that opt against meds do so for a combination of reasons that have to do with side effects for their particular child and/or the severity of their child's symptoms. I have one child on meds and one that is not. The one that is not is very underweight and has significant sleep problems already, so I worry about the side effects. Also, she has been able to do well in school and have friends even without the meds. I'm constantly questioning whether this is the right decision, however, as I'm pretty confident she is not achieving at her capability level and her school performance has started to drop off as she hits the higher elementary grades and more sustained attention and nuanced social interaction is required.
