I would not use it! No harsh chemicals can be that safe for the body.\n\nI would use passion flower. It calms, reduces anxiety and allows a person to concentrate. It is on the government's safe list and can be taken in large quantities. \n\nI would start with 500 mg capsule every four hours. It can be increased to 4 500mg capsules without harm.\n\nIt is just the best...also works for epilepsy

I do not have any personal experience with this product but a little web research lead to some interesting findings.\n\nFirst, this product appears to consist of vitamins, minerals, fish oils, some herbs and some related nutrients.  Many of these basic nutrients play important roles in brain function and health, but whether the quantities and quality of these items in this product will benefit brain function and memory in the majority of people is unproven.  \n\nSecond, according to the website "Consumeraffairs.com", "The Federal Trade Commission obtained a $1 million settlement from the firm in 2004.  Prosecutors charged them with making unsubstantiated claims for their products."\n\nUsually products like this, that are highly promoted on TV (expensive!) are too expensive (over priced) and promoted with excessive claims (the FTC settlement).  It may be wiser and more cost effective to just take a quality multi-vitamin/mineral supplement (from your local health food store - not Centrum or One-A-Day, which are the 'junk-food' of vitamin supplements) and a quality fish oil supplement and/or cod liver oil.\n\nYou might consider reading an excellent book on this subject by David Perlmutter, M.D., Board certified Neurologist and recipient of the Linus Pauling Award in Medicine.  The book is called: "The Better Brain Book" and it is available at Amazon.com.  You will learn a lot about the role of basic nutrients in brain health as well as info. about special nutrients (lipoic acid, CoQ10, NAC, etc.) from this book.\n\nHope this was helpful.

We were on a "scholarship" program from Mannatech where they prescibed a unlimited supply and treatment regimen for our special needs son. We saw no significant results and this was with about $500 worth of products a month. We saw very little results with them. He does better with a cheap patented vitamin and a couple of other good supplements from a competing company.

Well of course you should check your nutrition, aerobic exercise, and your sleep with a health professional.\n\nBut you might also talk to your health professional about Attention Deficit Disorder.\n\nThe book YOU MEAN I'M NOT LAZY, STUPID OR CRAZY?! may point you in the right direction. If you have an Amazon account you can even read parts of the book free online! (See link below)\n\nGodspeed!

Yep, I was on it for about 8 years, until they just changed me to toporal.  I took it for migraines, low blood pressure and a heart condition.  I took it only at night so I slept through the side effects, but had some noticeable weakness, fatigue and tiredness during the day I attributed to Inderal.  But, I didn't have a migraine during the entire time I was on it!

Amlactin works really well.  It is over the counter.

Look at http://www.ast-ss.com/max-ot/max-ot_intro.asp web site. It is not software, but they have some pre-built workout routines that really work. I've been doing it for the last few months, and it has been AWESOME! It will kick your a$$ and leave you asking for more.\n\nOne warning: They are a supplement company, as as such, really try to push their product as being the best one for you to use. Just ignore the built in advertisements.

I myself have not taken it, but a few others that I know that are close to me are taking it currently.  In their opinion, it is working, although it takes a while to kick in for full effectiveness.  Just keep taking it if you've been prescribed it.

My son had/has ADHD...he is now 19. I would give him a cup of strong coffee or 1/2 an espresso, which counteracts the hyperactivity. He told me that the 'rushing' feeling inside of him was gone, so he didn't feel so restless and could focus on tasks.\n\nAlso, having a list of activities/tasks/responsiblities for the child can help structure their day. As soon as I used to see that idle glare in his eye I would suggest something from the list. As he got older he would look at the list himself instead of me having to suggest choices. \n\nAnother thing is since my son was very physical, when we were out in public if he was too restless I would make him do 5 back-flips, which would use-up that energy. You could use push-ups, jumping jacks, whatever the child can do or is age/situation appropriate.\n\nI always carried a Rubic's Cube or some type of puzzle game once my son was older too, when we were in situations where sitting/waiting were involved i.e. dr's office/dentist, etc.\n\nGood Luck!

Try a comparison study of boy and girls aged 10-18 who are diagnosed with ADHD.  Compare symptoms, treatment, success of treatment, school discipline for comparable behaviors, grades, achievement and aptitude, and popularity amongst peer and with teachers.  \n\nShould be pretty interesting.

It's not just you - I happen to agree also. When my son was in first grade the school started in on me to have him diagnosed as ADHD & "suggested" medication - turned out the child had a severe vision problem that normal screening didn't catch & he could not see! I stuck to my guns & told them no drugs, & no, he didn't have a behavior disorder - & I was right! \nEverybody wants a "quick fix" as you said - from everything to making kids behave to losing weight. Take these pills & you'll feel/look/act all better!! It's like Jack & the Magic Beans!! lol And it doesn't always work.\nKids receive little to no discipline at home, the teachers are so busy trying to keep their classrooms disciplined that they can't teach so they learn very little & with TV being the best babysitter on the planet, children don't develop attention spans anymore. They can't sit still & pay attention because no one taught them how to do that. Parents have got to start teaching their children self-discipline at home!!\nOkay, I'll get down off my soapbox now - but yes, ADHD is too widely used as a diagnosis to cover a whole host of ills these days. \nAll I can say is do what you can with your own children & hope other parents will begin to do the same with theirs.
