[QUOTE="Malika, post: 685462, member: 11227"] Thanks for your input. J hasn't seemed to have had withdrawal symptoms so far tbh - apart from continuing nose bleeds, which I think were another side effect. I am so wary about the medications now. If we could somehow learn to navigate his ADHD without them, I guess that would be ideal. I cannot believe how he has been eating - and good things, not the usual sugar he craves - since we stopped, as if his body is making up for months of starvation. I don't think there will be any reason to question the ADHD diagnosis, really. He seems like a text book case - at least in terms of symptoms and "lagging skills" associated with ADHD. He is not on the autistic spectrum and I think sometimes the ADHD medications just don't work for some children, for whatever reason. The big drawback is that without them he is hyper and unfocused and this is of course a big disadvantage in terms of things like schoolwork. Which is the least of J's worries - he just wants to play and have fun... [/QUOTE]
