My daughter was on meds for about two years. They worked reasonably well for about a year and a half of that. We made the decision to try going off them when we chose to homeschool, and it's been a mostly good decision.
I think if she were in school she'd still need the meds, which to my radical hippie homeschooler ears says as much about the structure of our public middle school as it does her ability to function. She does well at co-op, and will probably start taking classes at the JC fairly soon. But the structure in both those places is pretty different from middle school and seven back-to-back periods of dealing with boredom and classmates who are hormones with feet.
