Totally Off Meds | ADHD Information

Yeah I fell off the growth curve too.  But I didnt stop taking my meds for that reason I had a substance abuse problem and didnt the way mixing my meds with them felt.  But as soon as I stoped I grew 4 inches in a couple months and I was eating like a horse too I gained 30 pounds...Im back on my meds now because I stoped using other substances and I really need my meds to concentrate and be as sucessfull as possible.  But you problably will notice that he gains some weight first then he most likely will shoot up. 

Hey....Long story short but ....  After seeing the doctor last week for my son not gaining weight and him falling off the growth curve.....I have taken him totally off any medication.

I just can not keep adding more medications to him (The doctor wanted him to be on 2 more medications).  So far he has done GREAT in school and I have discovered a new child.  He use to only want to stay inside and read books or play video games.  He now plays outside, is not scared of dogs, cats bugs..., He is more loving (Have no idea if this is because of being off med) and he is eating like a HORSE lol.  

I am not saying everyone in here should take their children off medicaiton so please dont think that.  I just wanted to let you know what I am trying and keep you informed. 

Thanks again for all the replies to my other post.
