[QUOTE="busywend, post: 266463, member: 391"] It became obvious to me that my difficult child needed to take a stimulant when: 1.) she was losing what few friends she had due to her behavior. 2.) she was dropping grades like crazy (Bs to Ds) as the work got harder. 3.) she felt different because she could not be like the other kids. Now she feels different because she takes medication - so 6 of one and half dozen of the other on #3. You have to weight her quality of life. She may not need stims yet. It might become more apparent to you in a few years. Or not. She may with time learn skills to cope or change her own behavior. [/QUOTE]
