Friend's of ours have had great success for their daughter with Biphenton. She is better able to concentrate and is doing fine in school (previous to meds she struggled). They too tried a variety of things first - medicating was not a decision they made lightly. It's gone really well for them, and there have been no side effects whatsoever.
I know how you feel. We haven't medicated our son yet. I'm not against meds - I just see them as a last resort. They can really help though. Sure many kids are given meds inappropriately, but on the other hand, many kids are saved by them. You know your child best and will make the right decision
