So my 9 year old son has been diagnosed with ADHD since he started Kindergarten.  His energy is definitely off the charts, but I think a lot of it is just that he is a little boy.  They are supposed to be high energy after all.  Anyway, of course the answer to this from the Dr is to give him meds, Adderall to be specific.  In case you aren't aware the meds for ADD/ADHD are methamphetamines.  I have always had a huge problem with giving him these meds, but apparently I'm the asshole for fighting the doctor and wife all along the way to the point where I finally just give in and give him his meds every morning.

Now, I will admit that it has helped him with focusing in school, but not so much any more.  So what is the first thing my wife and doctor says?  You guessed it, more meds!  So I have put my foot down and let her and the doctor know and document that I am very against medicating him.  I told my wife that I find it sort of disturbing how OK she is for wanting to keep giving him these meds.  What do you guys think?
