However, ritalin did not seem to have this issue in the studies.

OP here. Thanks. This why I started the thread to learn up more. Talking to the forum participants is helpful, despite misunderstanding and angry posters. You can spot easily who is talking from their real struggles and experiences and just want to share as an act of kindness. I appreciate this.

To those accusing me in anti-med, etc, read ‘dependence’ and ‘adverse effects’ sections. Of course, the info makes any parent cautious. In our case, we are still pushed to take our chances and try it out, as therapy alone did  it work…
