My child has ADHD and in the past I have had him go on Adderall XR. I wasn't too happy to make the choice of placing my child on a controlled substance @ the age of 7 and then realize that sometimes was worse on it then when he wasn't. The first day he had the grinding of the teeth... Everyone said that it would take awhile for it to kickin and start working, then afterwords I realize that he had loss of appitite and then by the time he came home he was very moody and very sensitive to everything I said... My son is not on any medicine at the moment and he is having a hard time focusing in school and is still very hyper when we go out. I feel bad that it is affecting his grades and want to put him on meds again, I just don't want him to be a trial and error. Does anyone have any good stories about a medicine they gave to their child and would highly recommend?


 * Sorry, but this isn't really the place for medical advice. If you do want non-professional advice, I'd suggest a forum. I'm sure there are many for ADHD. Peridon (talk) 17:26, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
