[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 572490, member: 11791"] Malika, this is just my opinion, but... ADHD and sleep problems? I am well aware of sleep problems but not as a result of the stims. (appetite is a different problem, definitely a known side-effect). There are so many other things that often go with ADHD. And THOSE things can cause all sorts of sleep problems. And perhaps some kids also have other conditions where stims would be contra-indicated (MI, for example). But... stims [I]causing[/I] sleep problems? Hmmm... could be that the french gene pool has a sensitivity to stims? Because J already has trouble getting enough to eat... the stims and their appetite suppression would likely be a major challenge. That plus your gut feel? Definitely hold off. There has to be more to gain from medications, than the risks and side-effects. You're not there yet. [/QUOTE]
