                    Has your daughter actually been diagnosed by a medical specialist experienced in dealing with this disorder?  At her age it is normal to be very active and have a poor attention span.  If she hasn't been seen by a specialist, perhaps your Doctor could organise an appointment for you.  Talk to the specialist about what are the best options plus if you do a search you might find there is an organisation for this disorder near you where they can offer advice.
Your daughter may still settle down but the last thing I think you should be considering at this time is putting her on any sort of medication.
Good luck to the whole family.    :)

                    I am sure it's not an easy thing to deal with. My child doesn't have it, but one of the children I used to nanny for did. I know its not easy. Best thing I can recommend is a schedule. Once I got him on a strict schedule, it seemed to help a lot.
