Talk to his doctor about ways to add fish oil to his diet. I buy it in liquid form and dump a little bit on my daughter's food. My daughter is 7 and has autism. I do not give her any sort of medication. She does take melatonin and fish oil supplements along with behavioral therapy. I'm all for no medication if possible!
I would suggest that you check out many references online about the efficacy of Ritalin and Anti oxidants and fish oil ..I could give you links but there are a few to look up online if you put it in the search engine . Some folks want to just have most children taking drugs and do not want to even know that there are other avenue's out there ..this is part of the whole problem in this country now .. .
Like sandman2 said, I would look into talking to someone about his medication. There are also natural remedies you can look into, like fish oil. They come in caplet, gummie, or liquid form and have been shown to have a great effect on people! Maybe you could even try taking some yourself. Fish oil is a natural antidepressant and can help you handle your emotions better. I take it daily.
My nephew had ADHD and other issues like that as a child. My sisters doctor told her to put him on a good carb, high fat (olive oil, fish oil, etc) diet and it turned it around within months he was much better and never had to go on any of the medications that were suggested. I know it may be difficult but whole foods are the answer, he could really be allergic to something that he was eating with the pediatriacian said was most likely the case.
You need to be careful about the company that produces the fish oil pill regarding their source of fish. This is due to polution in many ocean sources and also due to including fish that might be a source of mercury contamination. Regarding the dosage, Nordic Naturals have some formulas for kids. I belive that you want the combination formula with Omega 3-6-9, but I am not an expert.
For five months, researchers gave 65 children who had been diagnosed with behavioral problems daily supplements of fish oil (containing 475 mg of EPA, 151 mg of DHA, and other omega-3 fatty acids) and evening primrose oil (containing 54 mg of GLA and
other omega-6 fatty acids).

Isn't the Omega 3's supposed to help? I heard our brains need that good fat and that it nurishes the brain. That's why I take fish oil. Fish oil is supposed to be good for a number of things, including our skin, hair, nails, heart, etc.
What I discovered when he was first diagnosed was that giving him fish oil and grapeseed extract help his behavior and calm him some. It's what we had to do before he was old enough for medication. Once he was on the medication I stopped giving it to him. Well with his recent problems at school I became desperate and started researching what I could do to help. I've found that giving him the fish oil still helps with behavioral issues even if he's on medication.
Take a look at the Fish oil thread as deeyana suggests for more insight regarding the problem.
I had him on Adderall XR at age five for a month and did not like the way he acted so I took him off. Now I have stared him on Fish Oil and Vitamin C tables. I am changing his eating habit also. This was what my son's doctor told me to do. He also told me that 24 children have died from the Adderall XR so I will never use them again. Let me know how things go with your daughter.
