Hi Everyone, I have 2 sons one is 7 yo with mild ADD and my 6 yo is VERY ADHD, he is always arguing, non compliant and I have to tell him over and over what to do and what not to do. I had brain mapping scans done in January this year and his in particular showed that he is ADHD and with some traits even bordering on the Aspergers range of disorders. He is very intelligent and has an amazing memory. H ehas a great sense of humour but love driving his 2 yo sister crazy and me too. Currently I have him on 5mg ritalin in the morning and 5mg ritalin at midday. Many times I have to give him 1/2 a Catapress tablet at night to get him to go to sleep. (Catapress is a blood pressure medication here in Australia). I have recnetly heard a lot of negative info about the ritalin and I have never felt good giving it to him but it does help a bit with his behaviour, without the meds he is off the dial. I would love to kno wif there is anykind of natural or herbal medication that may assist with just slowing him down. He has never been a good sleeper and the first time he actually slept through the night he was 3 1/2 and i was a week off having my now 2 yo daughter. Since then he only sleeps through the night if I give him the catapress. He is up every morning at 6.30 and if I don't give him and meds he will go and go until, well ever. He will not wind down and would stay awake for 24 hours if given the chance. Even as a baby he never ever had a nap, he would go for 10 to 20 minute "power naps" during the whole 24 hour period every singel day. I tried controlled crying and he cried one niht ofr over 3 hours until I was crying and sobbing at the other end of the house through 3 closed doors I ended up a sobbing mess till I picked him up again. I love him dearly but he drvies me crazy at the same time. i have gottenso angry with him sometimes that I say nasty things and immediately regret it. I live interstate from family so i have no support and my husband works long hours often going away. I wish there was some medication that was natural that I could at least try.

Hi My son is 7 and is add. I just want to let everyone know of a med that is ALL NATURAL. I had my son on a med from the Dr and all my son did was just sit and look at the 4 walls. That is no life for any child to live.Its hard enough for day to day life that they dont understand why they are the way they are and so confused let alone be druged. Now I dont say that meds work for some people just not for my son. I didnt like the way he was. And I know there are moms out there that have to fight to get there child to take a pill. So one day I went to my local health food store and asked about products for Add and I found several that you can open the pills and put it in juice. But the one that I have my son take and I seen after about 2-3 weeks a big difference. Now we still have opur problems and outbursts but things have really calmed down.
It is called " LIQUID HEALTH ATTENSION"
they take a few onces every morning once a day and it is orange flavored so i mix a little orange soda for a better cream cicle taste and I have had no problems giving it to him and there are no more fights in the morning for his meds. He always asks me for his meds now. Try it. If you would like more info on it please email me at [email protected] I will be more than happy to help you. I know what it is to struggle with the add in a child. I hope I can help at least one person with this message.
you also have to understand it took my over a month for the med to kick in In the begining you can give him a dose and a half. you have to remember that it is all natural and it does not work as fast as a drs med. My son is just like yours but at least I would say he is about 85% better than he was. Believe me I am on sertian days in your shoes and hes 7. I will pray for you. Please fee free to email me if you have any other questions.
