Ok a demanding title to try and pull in as many experiences as poss. Have posted in special needs but thought probablya good idea here too.
My dd, 7, is dyspraxic and has adhd - recently diagnosed. i have been prescribed concerta - basically ritalin,a nd will start thsi weekend probably. she drives us insane at home - yet is immaculate, if struggling at school. has no friends but doesn't act up - is just a bit of a misfit. I want to knwo if anyone has found taking meds has really improved their lives. I cannot dare to hope this really mgiht be the answer - still in shock and obviously I hoped it would never come to this, but recently her frustrations and violence out of school are becoming totally insufferable. experiences please...
