DA is right....there DOES seem to be a lot of doctors out there with Crap for Brains!
I went through something similar when Sn00py was diagnosed with ADD last year. Luckily, the school counsellor had the same type of behavior with her son at the age and suggested we help him focus without putting him on medication. There are just too many negative effects from those meds which are routinely given to children these days.
Maybe some kids ARE a little hyper or have problems focusing....but it would take a really bad case before I would want my kid on brain altering medication.
If your daughter is doing well.... I don't think she should have to take anything. If she's feeling a little depressed....that could be from post partum depression and not necessarily a long term problem.
I agree with you....I would ask for ANOTHER doctor and also consider getting a second opinion even from that point. People managed for centuries without having to dope themselves up on lots of meds. I really think we are an over medicated society.
