My ds takes meds for ADHD. The difference is not night and day for him, but the stimulant kind of takes the edge off. I notice subtle changes at home, he's less likely to argue and less likely to pick at his siblings. At school, he fidgets less. It also helps with the teachers' responses. They are more likely to be patient with a child with impulse issues when he's on meds. (I'm not knocking teachers. It's just that giving your child meds makes it look like you're trying to help. Not giving your child meds makes it look like you don't care.)
