[quote=Anonymous]We started meds when our son was 8--he was diagnosed a year before. It made a vast difference in school performance and behavior--he went from barely being able to read, constantly getting in trouble (he was sent home from multiple summer camps), etc to testing in the 90th+ percentile in reading and being placed in accelerated math. No more calls to pick him up early from anything. The definitely kill his appetite, but we give them after breakfast and they've worn off by dinner so he's skinny but healthy. Our doctor calls in 3 months of prescriptions at a time, but we have to pick them up month by month. She sees him in person every 6 months and we do Telehealth appts in between (so every 3 month he has some kind of check.)[/quote]
