[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 54719, member: 2423"] Ella, I'm sorry. There's no right or wrong answer here. Unfortunately, medications are a trial and error process. Stimulants like Daytrana can help some kids do better with peers because they are less impulsive on medications. You're just going to have to test it in your own home laboratory and see how Seb reacts. If he does better on stimulants at camp (which you could argue requires similar but not idential skills to school), then you can choose to use them. If not, you may need to go to another medication. My son is neither hyperactive nor impulsive; he is simply inattentive. So we choose to use stimulants for school days only to help him focus. He's not on his Focalin XR this summer, and he's doing just fine without it. But he honestly has never had the peer issues that you describe with Seb. So it's a totally different case. Good luck with whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
