His parents were against medication at first. I would be too. Unfortunately, his academic and social issues were too severe not to reconsider. Ritalin changed the course of his life. He did very well in school and made lots of friends. He turned out to be a very sweet and functional young man. At age 25, he still takes Ritalin, and is happy to do it. Of course, we don't know what, if any, adverse effects might emerge in the future. Most of medicine is that way.
