[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I've made the choice to medicate my Adhd daughter and she, now at the age of 20, is also making that choice. As she puts it, if I hadn't made that choice for her she would likely have self medicated and she would surely have never gone to college. [b]She is literally a 4.0 student with tons of ambition and drive. The medication freed her up to be herself by calming her brain.[/b]

I couldn't care less if society agrees with my choice, my decision saved my child and I'm damn proud that I did what I did.

Stop justifying your decision.  Your child has suffered long enough, get him the help he needs.  It's long overdue.[/quote]

+1  My DS went on medication at 14 and after a few weeks told me he feels so much calmer at school.  Between that and executive function tutor, this once apathetic student found a drive for school, stepping up into higher level classes he previously wouldn't consider even though the school had recommended he take them.  Now our only school issue is that he wants to take 5 AP classes next year and I think that's too many.[/quote]
