[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 187285, member: 2423"] In your shoes, I'd want to know for sure what disorder I'd be medicating before asking for medications. If he has ADHD, it's one class of medications. If it's anxiety -- which it could be because he's not letting you out of his sight -- it's a different class of medications entirely. And if he happens to have a mood disorder, the medications for ADHD and the medications for anxiety make kids with mood disorders far, far worse. Sounds to me as if you need a further evaluation before jumping on the medication merry-go-round. [/QUOTE]
