Ok the "test" they gave me and my sons teacher was a qeustionare about his behavior and thats all it took for them to want him on meds doesnt seem suffiecent does it
I was reluctant to put him on them and so I put him on the lowest doasge i could i even had to cut pills in half
His Peditricain is the one who says he has add, I going to change doctors

I wanted to say his teacher althou not very helpfull does not think he has add infact she blantly told me i was comtosing him ( NOT the case ) but does tell he did better learning & behavior while he was on the meds so she contradicts herself and openly admits she know nothing about add
I took him off the meds because to me as a parent who knows my child better then anyone did not feel they were doing anything other then maybe depressing him
