[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, talk to a doctor. They will explain the neurological and psychological ways that ADHD affects children. They will also give you the pros and cons of medication. Refusing meds is not a consequence-free decision. FWIW, the half life of stimulants is really short. If they’re not working or causing intolerable side effects, you just stop taking them (with a doctor’s supervision). In less than a day, they’re out of your child’s system.[/quote] +1 My spouse was really hesitant to try meds, but the fact that they clear the system so fast swayed him. And the biggest side effect was appetite, which we found pretty easy to manage. [/quote]
