Instead of the medications why don't you try liquid vitamins. We put our 14 year old son on 3 liquid vitamins along with a multi-vitamin, Fish oil (omega3), Body Balance (high anti-oxidants) and OsteproCare (calcium/magnesium) are the . 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. The OsteoProCare will help you child sleep at night because Magnesium makes you sleepy. After putting him on these vitamins, he became an honor roll student. We also make sure he eats right. He does not like meat or chicken too much so we make sure that he gets protein by certain foods. We make sure he has a Zone bar (Costco) every day which is 16 grams of protein, he gets a power shake in the morning before school and 2 eggs at night after dinner around 9:00 for extra protein. It is very important that they eat properly. 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.
