I am wondering if I also have adhd inattentive type, I tend to be tired if I don’t get 12 hours of sleep or have some tea. I do space out sometimes, like just feel tired and stare off.

Are there other parents out there with ADHD children without medication in elementary school?

November 11th, 2011
trufaery06 asked:


My son is ADHD and in school, third grade, and I feel targeted because I stopped giving him medication. I know I’m not the only parent out there with a ADHD child not on medication. How have your childrens schools dealt with behavior/distraction problems?
My son is in therapy and has been for years. He also has been on almost all the add medications and has adverse violent aggressive behavior on them. And I am not against medication but these meds are METH and they do have serious side effects such as sudden death.
