My son is on meds for his adhd, can he take this supplement as an addition to his meds? He needs to stay on meds for school.

I would say check with his MD that put him on those meds to be sure, but it is just a vitamin.

I do not believe so. It is a vitamin supplement, not a prescribed medication.

I'm sure it's different for everyone but I start to notice the difference in alertness within an hour or two of taking one. I stopped taking 2 to 3 a day because it gave me headaches to take that much as does many brain supplements that I've heard of due to increased bloodflow to the brain. Alpha brain is better though. It's more expensive but if you have the money I would recommend at least trying a 30 count bottle and seeing how you like it. I've bought it twice now because it is so good. Also, if you're a student, I would highly recommend taking Alpha Brain while going to school.

I really don't know but I feel it is a great supplement for him. He is 16 and is pushing 6'1". He's been taking them for years.

I have used Adderall for a brief time. it was effective, though I didn't want to abuse it or become dependent on it. I would recommend to use it to study however given the intense need to focus. this 'true focus' stuff does help Indeed, add a caffine cocktail of your choice like iced coffee (my preferred drink) or an herbal caffine supplement and It will work. i'd say 100mg up to 200mg tablet. before getting a prescription that is for Adderall.

I buy and take daily a sublinqual liquid B-Complex with Vitamin B-12 ($6) at Wal-Mart and that product also gives me a little extra boost plus I take a multivitamin with folate in it just to be safe. I have been taking all this since April. I am up to 600 mg. SAM-e every day and it is still working well for me. Good luck!

For the approx 7 years I have been using Sam-E, I have also used the B Complex supplement, but don't know if it is required for the Sam-E to be effective. I read that it provides better absorption and effectiveness of the Sam-E if they are taken together. Never having been without the "B", I can't speak to to those facts. My Sam-E "works"!

I don't know if it is organic, but if you are taking other meds, be aware that it can interact and cause serious side effects. Check med web for a list.

I don't believe so because the ingredients in there are in our everyday consumption. However, I would probably consult with your doctor just to make sure it doesn't interfere with any of the medications you are currently taking. Sorry, I know that wasn't much help.

Unfortunately--since I threw away the box and recycled the jar--I can't provide the info. If I remember correctly--their were EFAs and B vitamins essential for the ADHD treatment of children. I can say that my son hated the taste. It was a struggle for him to take it. He learned to swallow his vitamins whole instead. Thank God.

I give it to my son who has ADHD, to help settle him to sleep at night. Have only been using it for a month and on a as needed basis. I do know a lot of people/children who take it in a regular basis with no side effects and non habit forming. If your uncomfortable, read the research on it, it is all very positive. It is a chemical that your body produces naturally to aid in sleep.

Hi Nik, I have been taking this for a long time and also take a B complex separately...they work very well together. I hope this helps...

Hi Ashley, I'm not sure if someone from the store writes them, or if it actually works for some people. I do know that some medications do NOT work on me, like sleep aid meds, my husband, they knock out, but me, not even. It may well be like this product. This product just did not work for me. I have to say, that I eat extremely healthy, and I've lost 30 pounds, on my own. When I tried this product, it actually slowed that process down, which was alarming for me. So I dumped it. Will it work for you? I don't know. As I said, each body reacts differently to meds. I also can not take multi-vitamins as they hurt my stomach... If you can get a money back guarantee, try it...Good luck.

I wouldn't recommend crushing any tablet and putting it in juice. Supplements are meant to be taken with water -- not juice, not soda, not booze, or coffee.

Not sure. I would recommend that you contact the company to answer this question, though we had put our son on a gluten free diet for a little while and he continued to take DA. It didn't affect him either way. Let me know what you find out. I'm curious.Good luck, Donna C

I actually 2nd this question...because I use a multivitamin, and don't want to overdose on Vitamins A, D, or E which this supplement includes.

Most of the customers do take this along with their regular prescription drugs. In consultation with their doctors, they reduce their prescription and keep this going. It is always better to work with your doctor.
