My son has not responded well to Ritalin LA after a year. There has been little or no improvement. (Before that he was taking Ritalin generic - Methylphenidate).
My doctor recommended Strattera which I would love to give him but is simply beyond my financial means.
He then recommeded Eye Q. I researched this and it is not medicinal at all but a Fatty Acid supplement. I am already supplementing DS with Omega's etc.
Anyone have any experience with Eye Q? (http://www.equazen.com/)
I heave hearde of it, it also contains evening primrose oil. To get the right amount of EPA/DHA you would have to take 4-5 a day, and that would put the EPA too high, and the DHA almost at the right amount.
Probably better to take an omega supplement, with Vitamin E to get the right amount.
Per the omegas thread, the EPA is supposed to be high...like a 7 to 1 ratio to the DHA. I'm getting ready to try the o3mega +joy.
