Meds help them focus but I'm terrified of side effects. Is appetite loss normal? Should we be monitoring anything? How do I know if they're okay?

Help + fear = impossible equation.

What's a realistic side effect profile? How do you monitor safely?

Medication is one tool, not a surrender. Choosing support is good parenting — full stop.
