hello my son his 9 years old he just started taking methylphenidate 18 mg once a day I'm not sure after reading all about this medication that i want to continue with it. Although he is able to focus better.. i need other options besides medication is there any? also will this be addictive as he gets older, does he ever get off of this medication I'm really scared here. I'm reading a lot of bad things about this. I'm very scared
