[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 597197, member: 11791"] I'd be hesitant to be using ADD medications just on the advice of the Family Practice doctor. The medications... either work really well, or don't work at all, or have horrendous side effects. Sounds like you've mostly seen not working/bad effects. So I don't blame you for being wary. Usually, a psychiatrist is involved. And to get that far you usually need a comprehensive evaluation. As far as the Occupational Therapist (OT) goes... don't "hope she suggests it"... ASK for it. Occupational Therapist (OT) is one thing that I haven't heard any negative side effects for... it doesn't solve every problem, but it works or it doesn't. Most of us can live with that level of experimentation. Probably need to start with Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation, so that the Occupational Therapist (OT) knows what to apply for therapies. p.s. For the record... we're a medications-success family, especially with ADD medications. I'm not anti-medications. But they do not always work so well for everybody. [/QUOTE]
