Monitoring Medications
A friend of mine daughter once hyper-active and once very energetic later began taking medication for it. Seen by two different doctors, they prescribed her two different medications, one to calm her down and the other is an anti-depressant which left her emotionless. When taking those meds she's constantly tired and sleepy. When she able to to stay awake, she's in a drowsy state. She shows no expressions toward excitement. apparently they aren't monitoring these kids closely enough to realizes its true effect. Each doctor should know the patients medical history and any medications that patient is currently taking before giving more prescriptions.

I think people should learn to deal with these types of situations without meds. The meds are worse than the ADHD.
