[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 7th grade boy with an ADHD inattentive diagnosis that he got before 6th.  I also wasn’t sure about the diagnosis, but we decided to start medication - Concerta (generic).  The difference on the medication is tremendous.  He was working really hard to try to concentrate but just couldn’t do it.  I immediately saw that things were easier for him.  Now, when we forget the medication on a weekend, I can’t believe the difference.  He has had no real side effects outside of some small appetite suppression.  I would recommend giving the medication a try and see how he does on it.  You can always stop it.  It isn’t addicting.  [/quote]

A response to stimulants is not diagnostic of ADHD. Stimulants will make most people feel better and more focused. [/quote]

No, but the real question here isn't "does this word fit?"  it's "Would stimulants help?"  Stimulants are unlike many other psychiatric meds, in that they work very fast and so it's usually very clear if the result is from stimulants.

Trying is the best way to figure out whether they would help.[/quote]

Yay let’s all take meth. [/quote]
