[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We put off going on meds after getting the diagnosis because I didn't think it necessary (yet) and I was concerned about the side effects, primarily on appetite and sleep. We finally went on meds when it was clear that she wasn't learning as much as she should be despite many, many accommodations. We haven't experienced any side effects and two days after starting meds she started to read for the first time.

For us, meds were a total win-win and I regret not doing it earlier.[/quote]

You haven't experienced any side effects [i]that you know about now.[/i]  And for your child's sake, I hope that continues to be the case. [/quote]

Why, yes. Also, we take car trips and haven't yet gotten into an accident and hope we don't in the future. We also go outside and haven't yet gotten hit by a bus and hope that we don't in the future.

In all aspects of parenting, I make the best decisions at the time with the information I have and re-evaluate as necessary. Meds are no different.[/quote]
