[quote=Anonymous]All the boys on ADHD meds at our school are short when the parents are tall. I saw the story that you only lose 2 inches tops but this is not panning out to what I see when kids are 16 and most finished growing. I wonder if some kids take meds and then stop until they are finished growth spurts? Also some of my friends have warned me that meds are not everything and the side effects and trial and error is ongoing. I keep hoping I hear of a medicine that doesn’t affect growth and mood. This is one reason we have hesitated on meds and focused on lifestyle/diet etc. Don’t get me wrong if kid could not function I would say meds would outweigh other things but if you can try to avoid not the worst thing. Maybe other parent has seen the same things I have. I would try diet/lifestyle first. [/quote]
