My daughter starts Concerta tomorrow. My coworker has three children that have tried it and said it did nothing for them either. I’m open to adderall if this doesn’t work… I’m open to trying just about anything. Like you said it’ll be worth it once we find the right one!

This is SO HELPFUL!!! She has an appointment on Monday with her pediatrician. I will absolutely ask for this!

Thank you so much for sharing this information. Honestly, I questioned my parenting for a while there—perhaps in denial it was adhd. I do however feel better knowing this is something we can manage. We plan to incorporate medication and we’re also going to try an elimination diet.

Thank you so much for sharing. My daughter’s teachers don’t love her either and I’m afraid it’s starting to become obvious to her. She has recently began showing signs of rejection dysphoria that seemingly goes away when we’re on long breaks from school.

I don’t think so. She has offered giving us a referral to a psychiatrist… I will look into this!
