[quote=Anonymous]For my 5 yr old it has been life changing. He is primarily hyperactive but dx with Combined type. The medication just calms him down. He doesn't bounce off of the walls and talk incessantly. When he's calm, he can learn. He listens and he is receptive to behavior modification. Last Saturday we went out and he was talking a mile a minute. I asked him if he took his medicine. He said oops I didn't. DH and I looked at each other and we turned the car around. After getting used to our calm, pleasant child, we didn't want to spend the day with our old hyperactive, non listening, non compliant child. When I ask DS about his medication, he says it makes him feel better about himself. He says he is proud of the way he behaves and he likes that his classmates want to play with him. So yes, for us it has been a magic bullet.[/quote]
