aculady-not a lifetime of meds? The ped makes it sound like that is "THE" choice. Are you saying she might be able to go off them later? I obviously have a lot of research to do because nobody has suggested this before.

And I agree, if you have a problem, it is there. You can't ignore it away. I just feel in the past a lot of kids get thrown into the ADD/ADHD category because they are different and people don't know what to do with them. I just want to be sure that's what it is before I turn to drugs...but that's still bothering me because so many people are saying the opposite, that it's really the meds that help the most.

I get excited when the library lets me know my books are ready for pickup...
