[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked this same question about 6 months ago and got similar answers. We tried the meds. It's been life changing. The only side effects is some slight trouble falling asleep, so bedtime has been pushed a bit later. But otherwise we all couldn't be happier. More confident kid with better grades and better friendships, and much more peace at home and at school. [/quote] A couple questions. Do you feel he/she is a different kid on and off the meds? And, re: friendships, what about interactions when not medicated? Do you feel friendships are maintainable outside of school settings when not taking them? A very sweet but very hyperactive peer of my kid's started meds last year and is so great in schools. But, our out of school play dates have been tough because some of wild impulsive behaviors come out then.[/quote]
