[QUOTE="DDD, post: 593245, member: 35"] Please understand that most of us have been there done that. No parent wants their child to even take an OTC medication for a headache. I was able to opt for ADHD medications by thinking "what if she was having seizures? would I give her medications?" I did it. I was a nervous wreck but made sure that I presented the pill as simply "something your Dr. X prescribed" and then I watched to see what would happen. These medications are QUICK IN-QUICK out". Personally I have never know in fifty years anyone who had a negative side effect but if it happens you just don't keep giving the pill. It is not uncommon for one type of medication to not work but a different one to be effective (refer again to the Barclay video that you shared a couple of weeks ago). In answer to your question "how old before a child can decide?" Goodness Gracious. A child is dependent on adults who love him/her. The answer is a minimum of 16 or so! Use your very bright brain and don't be ruled by your heart. Whatever choice you make is yours and J should not be involved in any way other than taking it when his Mother hands it over. If its' hard for you to analyze it would be impossible for a six year old to input. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
