[QUOTE="Malika, post: 516686, member: 11227"] Rx = prescription medication, right? As we all know, the decision of whether to medicate a child or not is a really big one. On the one hand the possible nasty side effects and long-term effects and on the other the very real gains in quality of life that many people report. I think my son's hyperactivity is a real handicap to him. I accept and love him just as he is (most of the time) - the world, of course, is not biased in his favour like me. If there were something that could control his hyperactivity, allow him to take part in social activities just like all the other children... of course part of me wants that for him! But I don't know that stimulants would work for him. From what I read here, all medications use is based on enormous trial and error. [/QUOTE]
