At thisyoung age of 5 yrs, you understand you might be thinking of finding some ways to reduce hyperactivity. But then this must be causing him non attention. But somehow this is too young age to start medication. You are required to learn different ways to deal with his hyperactivity, by engaging him in physical eye hand and muscular coordination activities whereby he will not only enjoy but learn to orient his physical excess energy. Occupational therapy should also be applied.

Usually they wait till 6 years of age for the medications to be given. However in severe hyperactivity, some clinicans start them early. Giving OT is good, mostly the ADHD symptoms will resolve with time, you can make a choice of waiting till 5-6 years before starting on medication, if you can manage. All the best.

And these drugs do come with side effects but our main concern is not the side effects but to make the child relived of his symptoms. There are many othe drugs apart from it which can help him. If you want more information. Kindly consult online.
