Hi, my son (7 years) is diagnosed ADHD without hyperactivity. From my point of view the symptoms are mild (maybe because for me its “normal”). My wife and I now have to decide wether we want to treat his symptoms with methylphenidat. My question: Can someone with medium strength adhd who gets medicated in his/her childhood write their experience in retrospective?

Thanks for reading, sorry for my English.

    ritalin turned my 12 year old nephew into a robot. they stopped it after a few months.

    i told them to try a again with an ⅛ or ¼ of the dose, but the parents said they ain’t gonna. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    personally i think low dose modafinil or l-theanin / noopept would be the first route i’d try, but sadly that’s not what the professionals prescribe.
