[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the reason that the 4 doctors have recommended meds? What are the reasons that you are considering meds for your DC? What areas do you see as a problem or need improvement? We started meds at 8-9 and in some ways they are helpful and other ways not, I'm not sure if it's two steps forward and one step back or two steps forward and two steps back. At 4 and 5 (and younger and older), DS was a wild child but it wasn't a reason to start meds. For example, at school, he wandered around the classroom instead of staying seated or near his place and the teachers were fine with that. [/quote] Sometimes the teachers are not fine with that. We had to medicate ours at 5 because he'd talk over the teacher all day long. He'd interrupt her every 2 minutes and talk non-stop. [/quote]
