[quote=Anonymous]I did not want my kids to have ADHD, although I expected they did. I did not want them to take ADHD meds. They hit sixth grade and they suffered. Really lucked into finding a psychiatrist for first kid, later diagnosed and treated second kid. They take the meds electively on days they have school or school work. School is easier for the, but does not eliminate all problems. They really have no side effects, but are on the right medication for them. It is hard to put them on it, especially if you have seen people who don’t have ADHD taking the medication because they look to ‘wired’, but it works paradoxically in people with ADHD. Will still need executive function training. [/quote]
