I have a 12 yr old that has been on ADHD meds since age 5 and she was put on it against my will because of where she lived .When I got custody I took her off and she acts fine.Her grades are good and she has lots of friends.I have two other children that the docs would like to put on meds but I am totally aginst it.The side effects are too risky for me.I will just deal with problems and try diet changes and behavioral theropyView Thread
