Putting my kid on adhd meds. (lemmy.world)

I remember going through the adhd med regime & having depressive episodes, low appetite & lack of interest in anything. I don't want my kid to go through that. They are having behavioral issues though, & something needs to change. I often feel like I'm failing them, even though my spouse & I are taking all the steps & communicating with their physician & teachers regularly.

Anyway, tldr : parenting is hard AF.

When I was on ADHD meds I was just sleepy. All the time. Sleeping during classes was worse, so that was the last time I had any meds.
