About Me

I AM A MOTHER OF A 7 YEAR OLD BOY WHO WAS DIAGNOSED LAST JANUARY WITH ADHD AND ANXIETY. I AM ALSO A REGISTERED NURSE IN A LOCAL HOSPITAL. MY HUSBAND WAS VERY AGAINST MEDICATING OUR SON. SINCE I WAS THE ONE DEALING WITH THE SCHOOLS AND THE TEACHERS, I WAS READY FOR IT. AS A NURSE THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO PUT ANY FAMILY MEMBER OF MINE ON MEDS IF THEY DIDN'T NEED THEM. AFTER THREE YEARS OF FIGHTING WITH THE DRS. WE FINALLY TOOK HIM TO A NEURO PSYCOLOGIST TO BE TESTED. AND FINALLY THE DIAGNOSIS OF ADHD AND ANXIETY. AFTER MEETING WITH THE PEDIATRIC SPECIALIST, MY HUSBAND AGREED TO MEDICATION. AND OUR SON WAS PLACED ON METADATE. THAT WAS IN MARCH AND BY APRIL THE DOSE WAS DOUBLED. HE IS A VERY THIN CHILD AND VERY TALL. HE LUCKILY HAS HAD NO SIDE EFFECTS EXCEPT FOR A DECREASED APPETITE FOR LUNCH AND A RAVENOUS APPETITE IN THE EVENING... HIS TEACHER WAS AMAZED AT THE 360 TURN AROUND IN OUR SON.
