I couldn't help but think of our ADHD Parenting Blogger, Kay Marner. She has been writing about her struggle with finding the right medication for her ADHD daughter. She faces many of the same struggles and has gone through a lot of trial and error.

See this list of questions to ask your doctor about treating ADHD with medication. Hopefully this will help you outline a game plan as you try different medications.

Also, check out this article about School Behavior Strategies. Talk with his teacher about setting up classroom rules and consequences for breaking the rules. And discuss a reward system for positive behavior.

Best, Dena

hi, i'm diagnosed with ADHD, and i also had bad reactions to amphetamines, (vyvanse, adderall) I would still be hyperactive, and sometimes even crazy (yes, like insane), and at night i had terrible depression from the crash. I decided to make the switch to this supplement called ADD Care, it's all natural (no drugs involved) and it still helps focus as much, if not more than any other stimulant. I'm definately glad that I no longer deal with those old side effects, I would look into this.
