I can't give you a lot of experience because we just got the prescription yesterday but I can tell you our thought process. We just decided to put my son on medication because it's an issue of overall quality of life. He is not producing anywhere near what his IQ would indicate he can. This frustrates his teachers and makes him wonder why other kids can do it and he can't. Outside of school he is a sweet kid but nearly impossible to motivate to do chores or anything challenging. I just got diagnosed myself and began medicine because I've gone as far as organizational strategies can take me but I still daily hit a wall of distraction. I want to run screaming out of my office most days. My self esteem suffered and I don't want my son to go through that.
