Does anyone have any experience of medication and it's effects (positive and negative) on the inattentive type of ADHD? We've just received a letter from the paediatrician saying that from the forms and assessments carried out it's probably ADHD and she's sent us lots of info on medication and behaviour therapy then will discuss at appointment.
A lot of the therapy seems to be about reducing hyperactivity and impulsivity but we don't really have a problem with that. He can be a little fidgety and bouncy sometimes but we hardly ever have to tell him off and he's never in trouble at school. He's just lost in his own world. If he wasn't struggling at school then I don't think I would consider meds but he finds it so hard to concentrate and is crying all the time since he started Yr 3 :-( His teacher described him as having a "clouded mind" and I know he lives in his own imagination mainly. He's also dyspraxic which I think contributes.
Does anyone have any experience of therapy or medication to help a child like mine?
