[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're considering starting our 9yo dd on stimulant medication for ADHD (inattentive w emotional dysregulation). I have mixed feelings about this - anyone started their child on stimulants and now regret ? TIA ![/quote] Yes, huge regret. Tried several and dc presented with suicidal tendencies. Made dc too emotional and when the doctor started with wanting to balance with anxiety meds we put the brakes on. Dc was never anxious or had social issues before meds but had these problems with the change in personality after going on meds. We needed these for attention issues but have chosen not to use them. Dc is maturing and when given the option would rather work extra or with a tutor rather than take the meds. [/quote]
