[QUOTE="Malika, post: 562068, member: 11227"] Hi Tranquil Ape (won't ask about the origin of the name :)) Look, I'm going to throw my 2 cents' worth in here and be controversial. Are you sure he really is ADHD and are you sure he really should be on this strong medication? I am not opposed where the child is clearly benefiting but in your case... I belong to an ADHD forum here in France and so many of the parents report improved performance and behaviour at school after the child starts taking Ritalin or Concerta (my own son concetrates sufficiently at school for no-one to be demanding that he be medicated at this stage - but he is a small village school with tiny numbers and I imagine this makes a difference). He is so young to be on the medications and if there is doubt.. One of the side effects of Ritalin can be increased aggressiveness, isn't that crazy? I just don't know about your son, of course, and we are all stabbing in the dark somewhat over the internet. I am NOT opposed point-blank to any children taking stimulants so that is not my point here. The point is that you need to get to the bottom of what is going on for your son and you may just be covering the problem up with the medications. Sorry if I have confused you further... none of this is easy.... [/QUOTE]
