[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 187119, member: 1233"] Well, if it helps in your arguments/decisions, research does show that kids with-adhd who are medicated are LESS likely to develop drug/alcohol problems than kids with-adhd who are not medicated. It was a while ago that the study was published. I got a copy from several of the different docs we saw. You might ask the doctor when you see him. Most ADHD medications are quick in/quick out meaning it only takes a day or so to wash them out of the system. It can take time to find the right dosage, but it isn't the kind of medication that has to be at the right dosage for 6 weeks to show a difference, unless you are using strattera. Strattera is a differnt kind of medicine (more like prozac) and does take time at the dosage level to show results. This is a really big issue, and one each family must decide based on what symptoms and problems the child is having. I hope things work out well for you. [/QUOTE]
