[QUOTE="jetreahy, post: 434282, member: 12095"] My 8yo is going for his medication evaluation on Mon. He was diagnosed several months back and at my request has only been doing therapy. About 5 months ago the therapist and I decided it was time and the appointment was made. He has an appointment with the most conservative of the nurses who will be starting with the lowest dose possible as told by his therapist. Apparently she has parents complain that he is too conservative and too reluctant to prescribe higher doses. That sounds good to me, but I wanted to avoid them in the first place if I could. My concerns, I recently read that bed-wetting can be caused by a sleep disorder that can show ADHD symptoms. He does wet the bed regularly and is extremely hard to wake up. I don't know if this is valid. I only found it when looking for products to help solve his problem. I don't know what questions need to be asked. Is there a list here somewhere? I will research the medications that are considered so I know what reactions to look for, but what should I be expecting? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
