[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew well before DS was diagnosed he had ADHD. As soon as we got the diagnosis at 6.5 we started medication. Instantly made a huge difference, I can’t imagine how he would be now, at 10, if we hadn’t addressed it then. Especially socially. [/quote] How often does the child need to take meds? Once a day?[/quote] It depends on the medication that works best. There are extended release meds that you take once a day that (theoretically) last all day. Other people do better with immediate release meds that you take several times a day. Most pediatricians don't have a lot of experience, so it's best to work with a psychiatrist to figure out optimum dosing.[/quote]
