In Reply to: I think my son may have - ADD
I think we knew from the time he was old enough to talk that he had ADHD and I resisted the meds route, but in school, he was struggling so much. We decided to try meds and we also got involved in the school's ADD program for kids who need extra time learning, time taking tests, etc. My son is now almost 17 and if we take a break from the meds for a while, he will tell me he wants to be back on them becuase they make such a difference in him, not only in school but he says it helps his relationships with other kids and handling situations that he would probably handle differently if he were not taking the medication (as far as impulsive stuff). So FWIW, for him we wouldn't have changed giving him meds. Best of luck to you!
