Meds | ADHD Information

I do not advocate for the meds, because I am truly afraid what they an do to my child and they caused nightmares, he could not sleep.  i AM FRUSTRATED WITH THE ADHD LABEL, TEACHERSWhat adhd med did you try?Sleeping problems are part of these kids problem I herd. Try no refine carbs at dinner or after that helped our son. Ex. salad with chicken. We all eat that way in our family and it helps us all. Rshn

I have been ADHD all my life, 35 now, and sleep has been extremeley difficult for me since infancy, so my mom says.  I cannot recall any long stretches of time when I have been able to go to sleep quickly.  Yes, I agree that carbs and sugars should be eliminated later in the day.  Makes a huge difference for me.

My son is 7 and ADHD.  He sleeps very well, and has since birth.  However, if allowed, he will stay up forver.  He is on Metadate CD and is ready to snooze by 8 at the latest, but bedtime is 7:30, so reading works.
