Question
by 4starrb, May 29, 2009 06:43PM
I have 5 children. 24, 19, 11, 8 & 7. The 7 yr old was diagnosed 3 yrs ago with ADHD and ODD. In the last few days,
the 8 yr old was diagnosed with ADHD. My 19 yr old was diagnosed a long time ago ADHD and OCD. Is it possible that my 11 yr old may have it too. SHe shows a few symptoms of ADHD but has not been properly diagnosed yet.
My 8 yr old's dr told me that usually most all of them would then. IS that possibly true?

I have a 17 and 18 year old that started taking meds at 6 years old and the long term effects are devastating. They act like they are autistic since being off the meds for nearly a year. It's almost like they are mentally 10-12 year olds. They talk about things that happened in the past like it happened yesterday. It's like they can't mentally move past a certain point in there lives.
My son now has seizures after being on two different medicines .And cant learn.He just had surgery last week to try help his seizures ,because all the medicines we have tried to use are not working and he is still taken them twice a day and may take time to see if the surgery is going to help him. My son is ten and acts like he is 4 to 5 years old and other children don't know how to act around him and some have been very mean,
I only wish I had never put him on any Medicines in the first place,but not to late to safe someone eles from making the same mistake as we did .
