[quote=Anonymous]My son was diagnosed with severe ADHD at age 6, I tried Adderall and it made his heart race, I tried a non-stimulant and I didn't like the side effects, so we went off all medications and I have been working with him one-on-one for the past 6 years to help him manage it without meds. He's 12 and is doing great! I also have it so I have used what I have taught myself to help him to use it as a motivator and not think of it as a handicap. It's just a personal decision, everyone has their own way of dealing with this, and when they are younger it is a lot harder. Things will get better. They did with my son. He's an awesome kid!
