        From vicky31mom February 22

        thats great , just remember to watch them ont he meds, anything you think s not like the child keep a note of it, and remember the toughest part of ADHD is there is no wonder drug and even when you find one that works does not mean it will work forever, so be pprepared! Good luck!

        I know how tough it can be when you get the initial ADHD diagnosis and try meds for the 1st time. My son is 7 and has been on meds for over 2 yrs!

      • Close Depression

        After my second child, I just felt out of control. I would be very depressed, unable to handle any stress, crying and screaming at work and at home. My doctor offered to put me on something for a year before I accepted.

        Treatments

        Lexapro Working / Worked
        It seems like it is working. I have been on it for a little over two years.
      • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

        Since I graduated high school I have been slightly overweight. But after my second child, I cannot seem to get the weight off. I weigh the same as when I gave birth to her. I have tried the Weight Watchers and got down by 25 lbs. I need to get down by 50 to 60 lbs. But, I always felt like I was hungry. I am trying to eat smaller meals more often, more fruits, veggies, and water or Crystal Light. Scaling back on the pop. Just does not seem to be working.

        Treatments

        Weight Watchers Somewhat Helpful
        It was ok. Never got down to my goal weight when I was going to meetings 8 years ago. My body just would not let go of the weight.
      • Open Acne

        I started to get acne when my youngest turned two. I have stopped wearing makeup since it seems to make it worse. It just sucks being 34 with acne like I am sixteen.

        Treatments

        Minocycline Somewhat Helpful
        AcneFree Working / Worked
        it is like Proactiv and so far seems to be working. my face does not get super greasy and it stays soft.
      • Open ADHD / ADD

        My 6 year old daughter has just been diagnosed with ADD. We started on meds this morning so I have no idea what that will bring. She is a very creative, imaginative little girl who cannot seem to focus in the classroom. She is one of the oldest kindergartners and she has to go with a para for reteaching daily.

        Treatments

        Concerta Working / Worked
