bikemad Report post Posted July 7, 2008 Saw the CAHMS guy today n he said when he has the report from school he will decide if my lad needs meds for adhd-what meds is that likely to be? He said he would have decided today but he requested a report from school last March n they aint sent one so he is requesting another one now so got to wait til thats done.

Tally Report post Posted July 7, 2008 The most well-known medication for ADHD is Ritalin. Concerta is a slow-release form of Ritalin. There are other medications. This is what Wikipedia says about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
