| I went through a similar situation with my daughter, only she was on concerta. Her Dr personally will not use Stattera because in his opinion he has very few sucess stories with it. I was afraid to put my girl on the meds because they have been given such a bad rap. We did the concerta, she got tummy aches and it helped a little. Then, we tried Medidate, More tummy aches only this one did not work, Then Adderall, she dropped alot of weight but, it did work. She is 6 and I have tried the diets, the herbal, the disipline when my pastor finally said to me "if you had high blood pressure would'nt you take meds for it? What she has is an imbalance and it is not going to go away. The meds will help her." It made sense to me looking at it in that way. Anyhow, she is now on 30mg 2x daily of Ritalin Extended release. It helps her at school even though my mornings and evenings are still a struggle and may always be. One thing I learned at a seminar I attended was to give them 3 minutes to respond to your request and 90% of the time she does respond after a little bit. ↑ |
hello,
i am a 12 year old girl with ADHD and i am on that too.when i first started that was happening to me.About the tummy aches,i used to get them if i had not eaten before i took them.Does she eat before she takes them?And also when i started on my meds i did not really eat alot and was loseing wait.But after a few monthes my apatite was back and i was back to normal.Dont worry she will be okay.I a doing great on my meds and have showed tones of inprovement in school it really helps.Even though days may be ruff i am not as emotional or mad as i used to be when i had not been diagnosed.I have been on thes meds since age 8 and i belive they make my life so much better.I hope this will help you and your daughter, i hope i have lifed your spirts. and tell your daughter i belive in her and i hope these meds will work better like they do for me!!!! ↑ |
