Dear Single Mom,
I have a son, now 14 who was classified with ADHD back when he was 7. We had alot of problems with him in school as well as socially. Our son was on Ridalin, Strattera, Aderall and so on, but they made my son into a zombie. We have found that children with ADHD, ADD have lack of minerals in their body and with extensive research we have come up with some natural vitamins that have worked. My son had a "C" average up to 6th grade on all the ridalin and other drugs until we put him on these vitamins (with NO ridalin or any other drugs) in 7th and 8th and he was on the honor roll. He was a true success story for the school. They are all liquid because my son cannot take pills. Fish oil (omega3), Body Balance (high anti-oxidants) and OsteproCare (calcium/magnesium) are the 3 liquid vitamins we give him along with a multi-vitamin. If you are interested in reading more on the Body Balance and the OsteoProCare the website is www.lifeforce.net/20458118. The Fish Oil website is http://www.vitacost.com/CarlsonTheVeryFinestFishOil-500ml. Vitamins are not the only antidote though, it takes alot of work of the parent as well. The parent must understand that self esteem if the most important factor of a child with ADHD/ADD. If that goes you will have an extremely hard time bringing it back up. Sports, kickboxing and any other active activities are very important in their lives. Sports for the activity, kickboxing for the discipline. My son is a very active soccer player and also takes kickboxing. He does not have alot of friends but these are issues that need to be dealt with as well. If you have any other questions, please email me.
Boy do I need some help here. I just recently got custody of my grandson (age 15), that has been diagnosed with ADHD and Bi-polar. I am so confused on anything to do with this.
I have done a lot of research on the net and I am still confused.
I have days where he is soooo good and then days that you just can't talk to him. if he has been bad one day the next day he wakes up and don't remember what happened yesterday (does this make since) then some days he goes for days angry at the world.
He verbally states that he hates his mother and wishes she was dead, then in the next breath he loves her.
I have gotten him into counseling and a medical doctor has prescribed medications for him but he almost never sleeps, constantly moving. He has a hard time sitting and eating at the table with us as a family. He wants to just have sandwiches and eat on the run all the time.
Please don't get me wrong here he is a good boy but just has had a really bad home life for the first 15 years of his life. Mother did not really raise him just let him go wild.
I am finding that I think that I need a support group to be able to just talk and get a grip on this before it really gets out of my control. I have called several places in my area and there is no support groups started on this subject. Can anyone help me help onfinding a support group on ADHD with Bi-Polar?
