What are the problems and what do you expect the meds to do? I think frustration is a part of motherhood just like refrigerator art work. Kids are messy and loud and it just comes with the experience.
Meds can help your child slow down to learn but they won't teach him to read. They can add a millisecond of time between thinking and acting but wont give him judgement of right from wrong.

Children, dogs, woods, and mulberry trees.
Hospitals and graveyards are not."
