I read your post and my heart goes out to you. My kids are young(5 and 3) so I can't really speak to the ADHD issue. What I do want to say is do not fear the withdrawal hype. At this time, the most important thing is to get your son functioning and able to hang in a classroom setting. I have, in fact, read posts from people who say the withdrawal side effects were no big deal and/or only lasted a short time. In my opinion, any withdrawal would be far down the line. If this IS the right drug for your son, it would be well-worth it. I would trust your pediatrician and therapist's advice. They have your son's best interests at heart. Good luck.
