Just an FYI...its been proven that ADD kid that are put on medication are less likely to turn to scoring illegal drugs on the street to self medicate themselves.
Its easier to teach medicated kids how to self parent themselves later in life, when they have gone off medication.
Anti depressants have to be tapered off of. Tapering off is so kids and adults don't go through serious withdrawl...so I doubt it was tramatic.
I agree that add medication is probably overdiagnosed, but there are quite a few that it helps tremendously. I was one that didn't get diagnosed as a child and I am sure I would have had a more productive life if I would have been diagnosed before age 40.
Everyone is different, we need to keep our minds open and research things before we label them bad for everyone.
take care
