[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 466591, member: 135"] I'm not opposed to medications per se. I've seen kids that they've helped immensely. I just think they are HUGELY overprescribed. I know that my grandson has some other issues; I think some of them stem from daughter in law's difficult pregnancy and some of these problems have been evident since birth. He still has speech problems, he still has cognitive problems, etc. But perhaps the ADHD stems from some of the same causes and it really is being helped by the medications. If so, I'm thankful. When I taught, and a kid was put on medications, I was always a little skeptical because so many times we at school saw no signs of ADHD. Usually we had in inkling of what the problem might have been but we were never consulted. If a child is helped by medications I think that is wonderful. I was not a fan when they put my grandson on them because he is so young and because I knew of the other problems that would not be helped my the medications. I'm still not sure that is what is making the difference (there are other factors to consider) but it is worth a try and if this continues and it seems to be the medications making the difference, I'm certainly all for them.
