If your child is on meds and they are not working, switch them. Don't let the doctors up the dose just switch medication, it takes a while to work, but if it doesn't work within 4 to 6 weeks, switch again. It will be hard but you have to find the right meds or your child will get worse. The doctors work for you, don't get intimidated. My mother ignored my ADHD problem when i was growing up and now I'm suffering because of it. I'm 43 and i am bi-polar, chronic depression, anxiety, memory loss, fatigue and some others. Children with small mental issues grow up to have BIGGER mental issues, don't wait, get help now, so you and your child can live a happy, healthy life YOU DESERVE IT! Good luck!
