My husband's ADHD isn't bad at all. He just has a hard time handeling stress. I think with some stress managment classes will help him out with out drugs. We as a couple made the choice to take him off. We have 3 children the oldest 6 and the youngest 4 months. I have read a lot of bad things about this drug and since starting he hasn't played with the kids or even so much as colored with them like he did. It is great this drug works for some, but the effects he has already had are not a good sign to us. The children and I deserve a dad/husband that can function instead of sitting there like he is in a coma. The only reason he got on the drugs was for his mother. She thought he would be better on them. I finally asked her to step back and let he and myself work through this and decide what was going to work for all parties involved. He has won very many awards from work and been very successful with out any meds. I think he can make it with just support and counsiling and no drugs.
