Follow-Up: These stimulants that are prescribed to "help" cause more damage than they help. I am a former Teacher's Assistant and mother of an ADHD child. I have spent the last 4 years studying ADHD and medications. I say nothing that I cannot scientifically back up, or have personally seen. There are alternatives, but I cannot tell you what to do with your child, as you are the expert there. If you want more information check out this web site; http://www.naet.com It sounds too good to be true, but there is a 90% improvement in my son. He has not been on medication for months!! There are other alternatives as well. Feel free to contact me if you wish.
