[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 540200, member: 3419"] I agree, that the kids who turn into zombies are overmedicated and the doctors and parents just need to pay more attention. From my observations, I think they are in the minority. We haven't used Ritalin, per se, but we have used Adderal/Concerta. It has been a godsend. Our difficult child is able to have a conversation and not run around in circles. Now that he's 15, he can control himself better in regard to remaining seated and speaking with-o using the medication, but he is still totally impulsive in regard to actions and choices that are bigger, such as stealing, drugs, etc. The problems just get bigger and more complicated. I would not dismiss it out-of-hand unless you've actually tried it. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
