[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is cruel to not at least have the child examined to see if this might help him. Do you also refuse to get his eyes examined or refuse to buy glasses?[/quote] I was given a similar analogy by psychiatrist. "If your child had diabetes, wouldn't you give them insulin." At the time I felt like medication was being heavily pushed on my DS. I think it is much more nuanced then many psychiatrists/doctors present it as. My son has been on and off of medication, there are certainly significant drawbacks to medication (sleep, increased anxiety, loss of appetite etc). He is now 18 and has decided on his own to take a low dose of Concerta. I am hopeful this is not forever though.[/quote]
