[quote=Anonymous]I waited till middle school before putting my kids on meds. They have powerful side effects (lack of appetite to the point of maintaining weight tops the list for us). With any medication, the risks should be weighed with the benefit. Are there behaviors that are truly impacting your child's daily life that would warrant meds? Also, what behavioral interventions and training have been tried before meds are introduced? Often teaching strategies to deal with working around ADHD symptoms can be equally as beneficial as meds.
