[quote=Anonymous]00:04 here.  We have friends who are in a similar boat and going at this just nutritionally - omega-3s, magnesium, zinc.  The Mom sees a change, but it isn't having anywhere near the impact at school.  Since the lowest dosage is working for our DC, we are hopeful that she'll grow out of needing it.  If you think about meds, my two takeaways are: 1. keep your teachers in the loop. Their feedback on how it changes DC is critical, especially when you are trying one of the drugs that only lasts a few hours or is expected to have an immediate effect.  2. Teach dc to swallow pills ASAP. Not being able to swallow pills rules out a lot of possible meds, especially those that are longer acting.  I am so glad we can do a dose every morning wjust like vitamins, and not DC doesn't have to go to the school nurse every day like several classmates do.  It would have made DC SO SO self-conscious.  3. Make sure you have access to the pediatrician (or whoever is prescribing) a lot more often than the usually once-a-month appointments, at least as you are finding the right fit.  There is no way I was going to keep DC on a med that wasn't working or had side effects for a whole month.[/quote]
