[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not the op or the other pp. Some of you have a lot of nerve as if ADHD is nothing more than a stereotype of hyperactivity or inattention. For children with severe ADHD the situation goes beyond that and severely impacts their lives making them miserable and unable to cope throughout the day. It also impacts the children around them. Do you think the op went to four different doctors who recommended medication because her child is "very hyper?" Do you think a child is getting kicked out of three different preschools for inattention or hyperactivity? Give me a break. The medication is likely for help with emotional regulation. That child is likely hitting, kicking, and ashing out at other children and doing the same, if not more, to caregivers who attempt to transition him away from a preferred activity. She didn't provide significant details as her child's situation because she wasn't asking for advice on whether to medicate. She was asking for others experiences. No one needs to be on this thread pontificating whether she should medicate and presuming to know more than four separate doctors. [/quote]

So ignore those posters and look at the ones who said they tried it. Several responded. Goodness. You can’t police peoples thoughts on this kind of thing. I have a kid who needed meds at 4, and I understood that our experience was so different from others experiences and reality I stopped looking to them for reference. You have an outlying kid like this, I suggest you do the same. Stop hysterically insisting you’re “right”. It doesn’t work that way. What does it matter? [/quote]
