Medication Alternative
Has anyone taken their child off of ADD/ADHD medication? And, changed their diet. How do you cope? What have you done for their diet? Does it help? I am asking because I have a seven year-old daughter. She has ADHD and has been on four medications in a year. Recently, she has been off of medication for a week, for the last week, because she was having chest pain and heart palpitations. These medications frighten me. I want to find alternatives like changing her diet or any other suggestions you know that work. There is no telling if there has been other damage to her body by the medication. |
