Re: [11q_disorders] ADD Meds

Linzee-
 
Courtney tried several meds. and all they did was--- remove her personality.  When she came down from the meds, she would get so moody.      The psychiatrist  I used was also a pediatrician and he monitored her heart closely.  Courtney was already having heart problems so he had to keep close tabs on her blood pressure.   
 
I'll never know if the meds contributed to Courtney's first heart failure or not.   Just be cautious.     I hope you find something that works.
 
I can tell you, as Courtney has gotten older, her ability to stay on task has gotten better.  She is turning 15 in Dec.   She is able to complete tasks in 2-3 steps processes.
 
Keep hope,
Sarah
