If your child is on a medication for ADHD, >do you give it to them on the weekends? Dr Len---- what are your thoughts??? My instructions to parents is that it's their choice. If they feel their child functions better and the family dynamics are better with the child taking the medication, then go ahead. If the child only needs it for concentrating in school, then only use it on school days. Len Leshin, M.D., F.A.A.P.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hi, I'd like some feedback on the medication used for ADHD children. It'd be great if you can share with me the name of the medication, it's effectiveness & any side effects, the number of times you take per day & whether it's pill-form or liquid form. I'm thinking of putting my son on medication but have not done any research on the various types of medicine yet. Thank you so much.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 We used the Daytrana patch. We had problems with it staying on well. Also, it hugely suppressed appetites. It worked really well for about 6 weeks then nothing. Not sure what that means as far as how it is affecting the body's chemistry. I would also like to find something to help with focus issues. It is a big missing piece right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
