[QUOTE="Malika, post: 540178, member: 11227"] Thanks for the encouragement. I do feel a sense of curiosity, I suppose, as well as the fear, to know how stimulants might affect J, positively improving his quality of life. At the same time... it is obviously not like going to buy them at a supermarket. So far I have received professional opinions that J is definitely not ADHD, and that he possibly is but there are question marks over it. I can't just say to someone "Oh yes, he's ADHD, please give me the medicine!" When we saw the school psychologist recently (who basically found that everything was "normal" although he moved around excessively when not engaged in the activities), she gave me the name of the neuro-pediatrician at the local hospital and said that this was who I should contact for a second opinion. I will ring them on Monday to make an appointment for September. The child psychiatrist I have seen so far says at present that the only diagnosis she would give at this point would be one of anxiety. [/QUOTE]
