Trying everything before meds, when to do meds?
I am 99 percent sure we will be getting an ADD/ADHD dx for ds early next month. The psychiatrist said at our meeting that he is waiting for the teacher's input but given what he had so far he was just debating the H. I subsequently saw the teacher's form and her answers were pretty consistent with ours.
So now we have to figure out where to go next. The psychiatrist suggested that we should consider meds. I am willing to do that. But I also want to consider whether we/school can make sufficient accommodations for ds to succeed without meds.
When people say they tried everything before going with meds, what is "everything?". How did you approach deciding whether to go with meds?
Thanks for any input!
Catherine
