There is an alternative treatment board here that you might find helpful :)

I have read somewhere that you should not stop taking the adderall without supervision. Before you take your son off the Adderall, find out how to do it. There may be some withdrawal symptoms. nekochan38876.518287037
My son is 10 and he has been taking adderall for 3 years. I want to discontinue the medication and try other methods, but I don't know what is available. His doctor refuses to offer any advice, he only recommends medication. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would really appreciate it! Also, my son does not have any behavior issues. His only problem is hyperactivity and problems focusing on tasks. He also can be a little impulsive at times. Thanks for reading my post. I look forward to reading many suggestions.
Welcome Brandi!
Yes, you will find some wonderful ideas in the alternatives section. We had good results with the high EPA omegas, magnesium. My son iand I are also going to do the crawling exercises (see crawlers unite), and he will complete those with the Dore program. You can find infomormation on all of these in the alts section. Feel free to ask around and post any questions you have! We love to share.
