[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 390934, member: 1550"] Well, the thing is, Jumper's life is pretty good. She struggles in school, but not in any other way. If medications are going to cause feelings she doesn't like or behavioral problems, I would rather not go there. More importantly, Jumper is old enough to decide if she will or won't take medication. Now if she had a severe mental disorder or was struggling in all areas of life, hub and I would put our foot down. But she is a very level-headed young lady, quite mature in many ways, and she really doesn't like feeling drugged. I may ask doctor if he would try a faster acting in/out medication (good idea) like plain Ritalin. I don't know if she'll put up with the ups and downs though and I don't blame her. I was put on many medications that didn't feel right and I stopped taking them. It's too bad there isn't any medication that helps concentration and doesn't make ya hyper. Her friend was over last night, laughing about how goofy Jumper was acting at school. Jumper said she couldn't sit still, couldn't stop talking, and could barely stay in her desk. She DID finish her homework fast, but I guess in this case we will have to weigh the pros and cons. They need to invent a magic pill that will fix everything with NO side effects :) [/QUOTE]
