Adhd

[Smurfy]

Anyone here have any kids or know of any kids on medication for ADHD? If so, how old are they, what meds are they on/have they tried, and what are the results?

Too bad MF doesn't post anymore. She's got it, I think.

If it's your kid, S; then I'm sorry to hear that.

My best friend's daughter is on adderall and he noticed a major difference. Her ADHD has also improved as she got older, something I noticed too. His ex-wife wanted to have her institutionalized last year, after nine years of dealing with her, I'm sure it had nothing to do with her new marriage.

I use to work in a children's psych hospital and I've seen children as young as 3 years old on adderall and ritalin. These were children with severe cases of add and adhd.
