Adderall, side effects, being paranoid, or compulsive along with anxiety and depression are more commen then you might think,

Switch to another stimulant that is not as hard on your son. 

Did you know that Adderall is twice as potent as Ritalin, so what ever mgs your son is on times that my 2. That is how much ritalin he is actually taking.  

My son ended up at a shrinks office, with severe anxiety and depression, had to be put on Trileptal which is a mood stabilizer, for 30 days, to stabilze his state. 

Then doc explained how potent Adderall was and you can get some really nasty side effects from it, if you have anxiety, depression, or bi-polar in your family history.  No one in either side of mine or my husbands family is bi-polar, but you never know what else could be lurking in those family genes.

Played it safe with a low dose mood stabilizer, added in Concerta 27 mgs 30 days later all is going well.

let us know what you try and how it goes..little fellow must be distressed..that's what I hate to think of..all the distress these kids feel, lucky for him he has a Mom who cares
I bumped a couple of threads on omegas into the recent posts for you to read. If you scroll to the bottom of the active topics page, you will see a drop down for forum jumps. Click that and go to "alternative treatments" and there will be more. It will give you a long list of past posts. They won't all be titled as omega but you can check out any that sound like they may apply to anything you are dealing with.Thanks!!

My 10 year old son is on Adderall and he sometimes gets anxious (I mean really anxious) about things getting stolen.  He insists we put everything in our house like the lawn chairs, etc.  We have never had anything stolen so I do not understand.  On another board someone said maybe Omega could help with his anxiety but I have no idea what Omega is or how much to give him.  He is almost 11 and weighs 75 lbs.  Can anyone give me some direction?
