[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 582934, member: 1514"] Tedo, you are medicating hyperactive and inattentive symptoms right? He may not need to be on medication his whole life. Personally I would start with the sleep medication first and try to change it to something natural like melatonin. There is this wonderful stuff at Walmart now called Dream Water which puts me to sleep. Its just melatonin and something else. I love the stuff. I keep forgetting to pick more up...lol. Im betting just the melatonin drops would work just as well. Once you get the sleep fixed....then see one summer if you can handle the hyperactivity and inattention through something besides medication. Jamie went off medication at 14. Now he was only ADHD and not Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) but he had to be off medications all through HS in order to join the military. He took his last pill the last day of middle school. Jamie used exercise to control his symptoms. He ran constantly. Long distance running. Served him well when he got to boot camp...lol. [/QUOTE]
