ADHD meds
My brother has ADHD and he took meds for it for a few months but then got sick off it and my parents agreed to take him off.
Well, his grades started dropping again so my parents told him that they want him to try the meds again.
His ADHD isn't as bad as some people; he does have a hard time paying attention (he'd just rather think about other things he could be doing is what he says) and is really active but not enough to get him in trouble at school, just attract attention and affect his grades.
Well anyways, today is the second day he was back on his meds and he hates it. He's so...different. And I can't stand him when he's like this, he isn't fun. He's just not himself. He tried talking to my parents but they say his grades suffer too much with out it.
He wants me to talk to them but I'm not sure what to say. He's already promised that he will try super hard to pay attention so that's all I have right now. Any ideas?
If it helps any, we're twins and both 17, I'm a girl.

If I were you I would offer to tutor your brother as he comes off the meds. Also, explre the possibility of a diffrent adhd drug for him.

It could be the medication he's on. Instead of doing without it, perhaps he and your parents should try talking to your family doctor about trying a different medication. Sometimes it takes a couple tries before they find the medication that works best.
