[quote=Anonymous]Stimulants are the gold standard for everyone. I don't know why the PP is arguing otherwise. It is true, and a lot of people say this, Inattentive ADHD can be tricky to medicate. So can kids who have multiple things going in like ADHD and Anxiety, for example. What I have heard MUCH more often than anything else -- and I have been at this a long time and have a child psychiatrist, a development ped and a psychologist -- is that impulsivity is the hardest ADHD characteristic to get totally under control with medication. In any case, if you are just looking for a story, my child with ADHD Inattentive and Anxiety has been recommended stimulants since he was 6. We have been extremely cautious because of the anxiety component, tried and quickly abandoned them. Kid is 13 and we are doing a med trial again now that he is older.[/quote]
