Any mommies who already have kids have any with ADHD? My youngest daughter was just diagnosed with it and I have some…

no his behavioral is good its his focusing!!! he's very respectable and he listens to adults with no problem.

Thats awesome hopefully it works for my daughter then I want her to succeed in life not be rejected because she cant control her behavior.@ashley1215,

@charisma_shay, we had the same issues with my step son. he would act out with anger or just cry, he didn't listen in school and didn't do his work so together his mom and my husband agreed maybe the teachers were right and maybe it would help. he's been on it for 3 weeks now and has improved so much!

@ashley1215, I was the same way I didnt care til she reached school and now its affecting her so Im going to give it a try. She is about to be literally kick out of her school and I tried everything to try to get her under control.

My brother takes the medication, once the correct dosage is given it should not make the child a zombie. my little brother eats just like a normal 9 year old boy... my step son is also on the medication, he just started because of grades, he takes 10 MG once a day and he has improved so much in school he is also being entered into the gifted program for excellent grades and being able to work above his age level, he is 7. many people tell me that my 2 year old will need medication but until school age where she actually needs to be focused I don't care what anyone says she's home with me all day everyday and we do just fine.

Thanks @sking092192

@mrs.oliva, ok I understand what your saying its not like he has a really bad behavioral prob? My daughter cant be controlled she will listen for like 5 mins then she back at it again so many people have tried to help me with her until I finally decided to suck it up and have her evaluated.

I hope it goes well!! @charisma_shay

@sking092192, yea her doctor wants to see her back and 10 days with another evaluation from me and her teacher to see how these meds do and she said if she needs to change it she will and she also mentioned therapy. My kids have a really good concerning doctor so I trust she will help out as much as she can.

they started him on 5mg one capsule in the a.m. I gave it to him for 2 days and it didn't do nothing but I cried because I felt so bad and guilty giving it to him because I feel like it's gonna make him different or give him a bad reaction... then I went back to doctors they gave him 10mg and I didn't try it on him. I don't want it to be a downer for him I can handle him the way he is. like I said I'm just really stressed about his learning

my newphew was held back in kindergarten because he kept failing everything and stayed in in scoop suspension constantly for beating up the other kids.. really, if you find a good doctor that will work with your child and get them on the correct medications and dosage it will help, Savanah has problems wetting the bed because her adhd is so bad, they even had a night time spray to help her with that! we love her doctor, he works from his home and he actually did some counseling with both of them while the whole process was going on. my niece loves her therpy sessions with him because they play games and go outside and play with the dogs or she helps in the garden or something fun. it's been a wonderful process for us@charisma_shay

@mrs.oliva, Have you tried the medicine out on him or did you just not give it to him?

my son has ADHD..but he's not that hyper and he does listen but every kid is different doctor has prescribed medicine but honestly I made the decision to not give it to him. the only thing I'm worried about is his schooling he is very inconsistent. but he is also developmentally delayed.

@sking092192, My daughters is very severe too thats why im like I wanna give her the meds then I hear all the horror stories on side effects but my daughter really cant control herself she in on the verge of being kicked out of school and they are holding her back this year because she is below grade level.

if she doesn't take it**

My niece has adhd very severly, she's takes her medicine 3 times a day and she's fine. if she does take it her grades drop and she stays in trouble.. you just have to find the right dosage for your child. Savanah is actually gifted she's so smart and you can really tell the difference when she's had her medicine. her older brother took it up until her hit high school and now he can control it without the medicine. he was the same way. Savanah is 9 years old btw, yes it did take while to get her dosage under control and get her use to it but once we did and has made such a difference in her day to day life!

ok thanks @jrsmommy0310

honestly I wouldn't. I was on them and it was terrible. I did worse in school and everything.

Yea I heard it makes you loose your appetite im so confused I dont know what to do :( I have one side of my fam telling me to give her the meds because she need them then I have the other half saying dont because of the side effects @jrsmommy0310 Maybe I should just give it to her when she is really out of control.

they had me on the medicine. I was like a zombie and i t made me not eat. I was 13 and only weighed 55 pounds. so I don't recommend it. my sister doesn't take it because of my experience

@jrsmommy0310,

Is it true that the meds they give them make them like zombies and make them not able to sleep?

my sister has it
