[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately many with ADHD who are not put on meds ultimately self medicate. [/quote] This was our biggest fear and our developmental pediatrician warned strongly about it. My DD is now 14, takes ADHD meds and anti-anxiety meds. I struggle wondering if the anxiety is caused by the ADHD meds and if we are just creating a big circular issue, but then I think back to before she was on meds and remember that she always had stomach aches (a hallmark of anxiety). She is also dyslexic and school is a struggle. She can now articulate how the meds help her get through school in a reasonable manner and lessen her anxiety. She has a long way to go and still has issues, but I think (and she thinks) she would be worse off without them.[/quote]
