[QUOTE="Malika, post: 514659, member: 11227"] Yes, of course I meant not the [I]intended[/I] effect, lol. Funnily enough, or not, I do feel somewhat differently about medication now than I used to. I am sure that that turnaround has happened to quite a few of us here. I see two things - that J is actually eager to please, wants to love and be loved (as any child) but also that he keeps on saying rude things, either as a "joke" or when in the heat of the moment, keeps on being aggressive, mostly in play (and that is mainly socially inappropriate) and occasionally in the midst of a temper tantrum, keeps on not really being welcome most places we go because he is too loud and manic and hyper. If there were something that could help him calm and help him learn impulse control, help him be socially accepted and actually become more often the truly delightful, loving and creative child he is, well, I would be open to it. Also the next school year is going to be instrumental in showing how he copes with school when things get harder... It may be that the concentration and attention falls apart to some degree. But... In France, only Ritalin and Concerta (based on the same molecule as Ritalin, I know) are licensed to treat ADHD, none of the other things that are available in the States. Unless we hop across the pond to get prescribed in the States... [/QUOTE]
