I was put on medication after i found out and was able to excel in college, I graduated with a 3.55 gpa overall and a 3.9 gpa in my major.

Since your son is in Kindergarden, I think it's best that you not put him on medication. I hate the medication and I'm an adult, since beginning the meds, i developed social anxiety disorder and have been put on a low dose of prozac, before the medication I was outgoing and fun loving.

If I were you I would try to seek out a program outside of the school system. Maybe something like a Sylvan learning center, that can help your son overcome his ADHD and learn to live with it without using medication. I really think a lot of times young children, especially young boys, are put on this medication to curb normal rambancious boy behavior.
