Hi there
after lots of agonising and periods of denial, I think it is time we seriously considered medication for my son.
I am so emotionally drained that I dont have the energy to tell our story. But I am convinced he is 2E - gifted with ADHD. We have tried behavioural intervention, sensory intervention, diet, naturopathy, fish oil, more stimulation, etc. Now that his behaviour is impacting on his self-esteem and his reputation, we do not think we can avoid it any longer.
I am keen to hear some positive stories from families who have decided to to go down the medication route.
This is a really tough decision for us, so if you are anti-medication, please refrain from posting comments.
Keen for any advice (how you started, dosage and medication type, strategies to address side effects). Any advice would be appreciated.
I am really hoping for some 'glad we did it - will never look back' stories
Thanks in advance
