[QUOTE="Samantha36, post: 35056, member: 3638"] Hi I have an 11yr old son who was diagnosed with ADHD/ODD three years ago. I too was concerned about allowing him to be px medication and I spent two years fighting the school and my son's father to use just a CBT approach. After some time I realised that in fact the only reason I wouldnt medicate Lew was down to my own guilt and belief that this condition may have been down to my failings as a mum. I missed out on the reality of the situation and as a result Lewis became more and more isolated from his peers and began to suffer both academically and emotionally. I finally agreed to try medication and the change was amazing; he began to enjoy school again, began to build up his peergroup again and until the medication wears off is a child that you would not even realise had ADHD...when it wears off thats when I remember how life was for all concerned pre medication days! Good luck, Samantha. [/QUOTE]
