[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 593309, member: 1514"] Malika I think you should you feel some sense of comfort that you are starting with a medication that has been around for many many years. Ritalin is one of the oldest and best known medications known for the treatment of these kids. It is extremely safe. Like DDD said, it is fast in and fast out. You will know fast how it works for him. You are not giving him poison or some illegal drugs. In fact, the literature has shown that children who have adhd and are treated adequately with medication as children are less likely to turn to illegal drugs as teens and adults. With this medication you can just give it at school if that is the place he is having the most problems. When Jamie was in the very early grades, that is the only place he took it and most years he took the summers off unless we had something major he had to be involved in. Of course Cory was a different story. It is your choice of course but you might want to at least give it a try for a week or two since you did ask the doctor and the doctor felt it was okay to give you the medication. [/QUOTE]
