Please do not give her those medicine and ask the doctor how to take her off them and I wouldn't try another one.

The side effects are worse then the ADHD  and you will be deal with other things beside the ADHD .

After doing an egg on my son who was only on two different medicines for about 2 years.we found out he was having seizures and we don't know how long he had been having them.And he is on a lot of medicines and they are not working for his seizures. and had surgery to try and help him last week and will take time to see if that will work for him and hope to be able to take him off some of his seizures medicines.and  I took him off the  ADHD medicine he was on at the time we found out he was having seizures.
And the doctors agree he shouldn't be on anything now because it could make the seizures worse.

and now I worry that my son may have a short life or he may have to be taken care of if anything where to happen to my husband or I.And he can't learn .He is 10 and acts like a 4to 5 year old.

Do not medicate your child! You will regret the long term effects.

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.
