[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 132695, member: 1550"] My daughter, who is 23, said all the ADHD stims are abused on the street big time, and she abused them. She is clean now and is my expert on drug abuse on the street. Diagnosing from a GP "right away" to me is not a thorough diagnosis. in my opinion, I'd take him to a neuropsychologist or for an MDE before I gave him anything. He could have ADHD and he could have one of many ADHD mimickers. Is his development normal? What behaviors worry you? Do you have psychiatric problems or substance abuse on the family tree? I'd go very slow before medicating him on "a few minutes." Lots of disorders look like ADHD. My son is on the autism spectrum, but was diagnosed with ADHD first. Stimulants made him mean and violent. Given to the wrong kids, these stimulants are not good. Make sure it's ADHD. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
