What do you mean the doctor won't give him any medication. If he really has ADHD then he should be given medication. Are you positive that your son has ADHD? Go to another doctor and get a second opinion. Medicine doesn't help all ADHD positive people. I have a friend with it and the medicine makes her sick to her stomach, she just has to try not to get too much caffiene in her and every once in a while with her doctors approval she doesn't take it. If you're worried about it then talk to the doctor or get a second opinion. My brother has ADD not ADHD, but when he doesn't take his medicine (and sometimes even when he does) he can be a real pain in the ass. (excuse my french.) Depending on your sons age maybe he's too young to take it. The only medicine available for ADD and ADHD is pills, the kind you swallow. I'm 14 and I've never once swallowed a pill, the thought frightens me. So maybe it has something to do with age or even the side effects. I know a girl that lost 10lbs in a week while on that medication and she almost fainted one night while at my house, it can be dangerous. Talk to the doctor about it.
