I have a script for Ritalin in my car, waiting to be filled. I feel uneasy about it, but not because I don't think its the right thing to do... Because I'm not sure!!
How on earth do I know if this is right? I know I can stop at any time, we are only trialling, but giving her that first half pill has my gut already in knots & they're not even in my hands yet!!
OT has ditched us now that our EPC has run out. Didn't ask if I wanted to pay full price. Nothing. So we got 3 actual sessions.
I think I'll fill the script. I don't see the point in trialling them now, its only 3 weeks til end of term. Might wait til next year, 2nd term, since she's probably changing schools.
Anyone have advice re: Ritalin V Dex?
I just feel like she's way too young to be put on meds, but her schooling is suffering. & I know if I don't act now she'll slip further & further behind til its too hard to catch up again.
I guess we'll just figure it out as we go along...
