Avatar f tn I was browsing around looking for non pill ways of curing ADHD and I came across a book called How to Cure ADHD. Has any one heard about it? On some other discussion forums some one had mentioned that they had used it and it really improved their child’s behavior. The website http://www.tocureadhd.com/ looked really promising. Has anyone else used it? I would like to finally have a non medical way of dealing with ADHD and this seems like the best option.

7552207 tn?1427020403 So I have sever depression and ADHD. I stopped all my medication during my pregnancy just because there is no 100% safe medicine to take while pregnant. And for the most part I can cope with my ADHD, but my depression is absolutely terrible...so my question: After baby is here, will I be able to take my depression medicine and breast feed? I have my heart set on breast feeding and I feel selfish if I cant just because of my own reasons...

Avatar m tn HI, I a have a 9 years old boy who was diagnosted with ADHD this year. I had some parent training for behavioral issues and I refused to put my child on medication. I am wondering to try vit b for his behavior issues my question is should I try it ?, if yes wich one I should use ? at what dose ? , is the vit b suplement chemicals or not ? does it have side effects or no ? MY child doesn't have any depression but he is very active and his focus is short.
Avatar f tn Ok, Tenex is a high blood pressure medicine. But, it is used on ADHD children to control hyper activity when other medicines do not work. It is usually not the first medicine that experts use, but one of the last medicines that they use when they have tried many other medicines. Most of the time, Tenex is not a good medicine for ADHD, most of all when used alone. In this case, it is not working unless you just started.
383943 tn?1217722721 Did she get evaluated by a psycholigist or developmental doctor that specializes in ADHD? If she has ADHD, the first medication that you should try is Metadate CD or Ritalin. Start with a very small dosage such as 2.5mg or 5mg. If it does not work because it is not enough, keep on increasing the amount very slowly until you see that she is doing well. I am not familiar with celexa. If it is a stimulant like Ritalin, the dosage sounds too high.
Avatar f tn t been able to find a medicine that works long term.,she has been on many of the ADHD meds. Can anyone help?
970361 tn?1247699567 Thats what 3 year olds do move riggle , jump, leap and play, its normal, I doubt if its ADHD make sure the child has plenty of outside activities, and is using up his energy, why does it bother you if he moves ?
Avatar f tn I'm the mommy of a wonderful 5 year old son he was diagnosed with ADHD about a year ago. He has been on 5 different medications trying to find the perfect one that calms him down and keeps him focused. The medicine he is currently on has done wonders but 3 months ago I noticed that he has become more hyperactive and it seems like his medicine is no longer working. He is disrespectful at times and has sudden bursts of anger at times.
Avatar f tn My child is 8 years old and when he went into first grade he was diagnosed with ADHD the first year he went on Concerta i thought that he was doing well the highest dose we had him on was 36mg now about two month ago the doctor thought we should switch him to Vyvance to give him a longer affect we went from 30mg to 50 mg and then back to 30mg i have told the doctor my concernce about this medicine he has mood swings he does not seem to enjoy the thing that he usallaly does like going outside to
305005 tn?1358728290 an other thing to consider is finding what i call the window. there is a window for meds that have to do with adhd where if your in it its like a god send your not. if your above it or below it the medicine can make symptoms worse, but if your in it its amazing. one of the beautys of most meds for adhd (at least the amphetemines which makes up the bulk) is that you don't have to wait and see the affects for weeks at a time.
Avatar n tn I am all for herbal anything as long as it suits you , is it for a child ? I have heard recently about Synaptol they say its good. I also believe that food supplementation works vitamin/mineral supplement anti oxidants VitC and Bcomplex help .Today's epidemic of attention problems in children have been linked to everything from artificial additives to preservatives in food ,food allergies ,heavy metals and pesticides , and I think some are responsible .
2031646 tn?1329304409 My fathers adopted son takes this medicine also. He gave another medicine to help with appetite but I can remember the name. Perhaps you should ask about it. Glad the medicine has helped. Good luck to u.
Avatar f tn Most doctors are reluctant to give a diagnosis of ADHD until past the age of seven and only at the age of seven and eight do they prescribe medicine for ADHD. Children mature alot between five and seven. If he has issues with language and communicating, you need to have him evaluated by a speech pathologist. He probably needs social language therapy classes with a speech pathologist. Good luck.
