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.
Ok, had you other experiencea or where your low dose suggestions based on?
yeah.
i don’t want to go into too much detail here in public, but i did “a lot” of research and experimenting over the years to find the least shitty way to treat my own symptoms.
so, take my advice with a grain of salt. it’s completely anecdotal 🤷🏼♂️.
Ok, thank you!
