[quote=Anonymous]I am a pediatrician and would not agree with your uncle. Stimulant medications are the recommended first line class for all types of ADHD. Like prior pediatrician referenced in the thread, I start very low and titrate up slowly. The kid knows when we hit the right dose -- at this age, I look for the kid to tell me things are working and they are excited about being able to show everyone how hard they are trying. It's rare not to be able to find a low dose stimulant that would help in this sort of situation. They are in and out of your system in the same day, so you can stop quickly if there is a side effect that bothers him. Unfortunately, I am not available to you. But good luck. Try not to be overwhelmed -- you will get this sorted out.[/quote]
