[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 302240, member: 1514"] Sharon, you probably know that 14 was when Jamie chose to come off ADHD medications. He started HS without them. It was a well thought out decision for him because of what he wanted to do with his life. He chose physical activity to channel his hyperactivity by running before and after school and taking JROTC all four years. Plus he was on the track team. He got lots of running in...lol. He did have problems with concentration and some lowered impulse control than when he was on the medications but he just worked around those. I talked to his teachers and begged them to help him. He was never on a 504. Probably should have been but he was so personable that his teachers wanted to help him. He toughed it out and got lower grades probably by one letter than he could have got with medications but without medications he got his career. I think he made the right choice. [/QUOTE]
