[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 354399, member: 2423"] How is she being tested for ADHD? You may know that the tests are not perfectly accurate in diagnosing ADHD. Stimulants for ADHD are quick in and out. You will know within a short time whether they are working or not. We just did a trial of Concerta for my son J and discovered within two weeks (one week at 36 mg and one week at 54 mg) that it did absolutely nothing -- positive or negative. So the psychiatrist pulled him off. No harm done whatsoever. If she has ADHD and you don't treat her for it, she is the one who suffers. If she becomes moody, you discontinue the medications or try a different one. If she is level-headed, I don't think there is great risk for drug abuse. [/QUOTE]
