[quote=Anonymous]DD started taking meds at age 10 for ADHD. It helped her focus for sure but she had no appetite and lost a a lot of weight. It also made her anxiety much worse ( although her doctors told us this wasn't the case). We took her off the meds in middle school and everything improved except her focus. She now has learned to manage with therapy and takes a short term 4 hr pill on test days or big homework nights. She is now a jr in HS and is doing great with intermittent medication. Good luck to your DD .. The treatment you do now may not be the long term treatment..take it as it comes. [/quote]
