[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is a relatively unusual thing to do, but we have gotten 4 different opinions from 4 different doctors and they all recommend we put our 4 yo on Ritalin for ADHD. We are starting later this week. Has anyone else done this on a child so young? How did it go?

I’m excited to try it and see if it helps, but afraid to get my hopes up too high. I myself take adderall and find it immensely helpful.[/quote]

I am 100% pro healthy living before resorting to pharma, especially for a preschool child. All of these meds have side effects. The younger the child, the more risky the side effects.

Why not first do a brain scan to actually see what you want to “fix”? Isn’t that what we do with every other part of the body?

These are the questions every parent should be asking any doctor who wants to start experimenting with various drugs on your child. It typically takes a while for them to find the right drug and the right dose. It’s a process of experimenting. Every child is different.
