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.

    I’ve been on three different ADHD drugs over the past 30 years. I don’t know where I’d be without that, but I think I’m much better off than I would be without it.

    I was on adderall for a little while back in school, but they took me off of that due to the weight loss (It was a good time for me though. I had hobbies and I was thin. Now I’m a lazy fat-ass).
