[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 485456, member: 11791"] I'm doing my best not to start a rant... really hot topic! You see... I'm actually pro-medication. With a caveat: IF you have the right diagnosis, and a complete set of dxes, AND the dxes have a known set of medications with a good track record... THEN your chances of medications working is high, and definitely worth trying. In fact, the chances of ANY intervention, accommodation OR medication are directly tied to the accuracy and completeness of the diagnosis(es). However... The biggest two problems are: 1) getting the right diagnosis, and 2) getting all of them. Just my own experience plus talking to other parents and exposure here... Gut feel is that probably half the kids who SHOULD have a diagnosis, don't get it, and half the ones who GET the diagnosis, should NOT have it. I'd love to see some real scientific studies on that... but it would be a really difficult study to do, and open to lots of controversy! [/QUOTE]
