[QUOTE="Malika, post: 480475, member: 11227"] Oh, yes, Step - I'm much more open to it than I was... because J's problem is hyperactivity which does not yet seem really to go with severe concentration problems, he copes okay at school. And while that is the case, there is much less of an imperative to medicate.. I suppose the fear is that while there may be a medication that makes him less hyperactive and impulsive, it might also make him... not J in some sense. But you don't know until you try a thing. All of this is a process, I reckon - I don't feel the same way about certain issues that I did a year ago and it all seems a constant evolution. At first one is shocked, trying to deny, hoping against hope that there is nothing "wrong" and then... there is an acceptance, a willingness to look for solutions. And if I can come to believe that medications could really be a solution, yes - I'm open to it... [/QUOTE]
