Hi.
I am not currently on anything for the ADD, i am currently on Effexor for Post Partum Depression. I am dying to try the Adderall as I understand it could possibly do wonders!!My son was on adderall for a short time. He comes from a VERY short family (I am only 4'9") and he seems to be following along that same path. I am concerned about the stunting of growth.
All I really want from the school is for them to just cut him some slack. recognize he is not just lazy and messy. He doesn't forget his assignments purposly. All I want is to be NOTIFIED of ANY missing assignments and about any Long Term Projects that are assigned. Also, not to grade him on his organizational skills...can you imagine!!! Or if they need to do that, give him extra time to get it organized, buddy him up with someone who can help. My son was in tears when his progress report showed a 70 in Math, when ALL his tests were 97 and ABOVE. Thanks for any suggestions.
PS... We have had ALOT of insurance problems in the last year which have prevented me from finding a permanent Ped. Neurologist. Next month it should all be straightened out and I can find a good one who can help me further.
