OP here. Thank YOU for sharing. I agree that it's such a ricochet effect - especially when a lot of this is genetic and more than one person in the family has the same issues. After many years of bugging him, my husband finally got diagnosed with ADHD too, and we've talked about him trying medication at the same time as my son. That would be one bright spot for me because I don't worry about the adverse effects as much in a grown adult - and if it could improve some of my husband's behaviors (terrible working memory, anger/impulsivity), I would be thrilled. He has been extremely resistant to medication (and the diagnosis) but has softened some with the thought that maybe it could make our son more interested in taking medication -- to be like his dad. And it could be a bonding experience for them. Yes, I am grasping at straws, folks!! This is my life.

Thank you thank you everyone. I have been crying all morning but am feeling better now reading your messages. [/quote]

PP you might consider asking your DH to start the medication first.  If he can find one that works well for him it might give you a good place to start for DS.  It's not a sure thing, but if the Dr knows one Rx works well for DH, they may start with that one to see if it works as well for DS.  My DS and I are on the same RX and it works well for both of us.
