i have 2 sons that have adhd. my oldest son also have ticks to they have put him on so many meds its not funny he dont like to take it. because he has to take it at school and the kids make fun of him and he gets into alot of frights and the teachers dont know what to do with him. they call me everyday about him i have to get him from school  everyday is there anyone that can tell me a good med for a 12yrs old boy that wont have to take at school

I am so sorry ,kids can be so mean to other children.

have you talk to your son's doctor about what is happening at school ,and how do the other child know that he is on medicines ?they shouldn't know he is on anything and the school should handle it.

I know how it is to get a phone call from the school,I use to get so made and just tell my son  special Ed teacher to do her job.And had it not been for her my son wouldn't went on any medicines for add or adhd.the side effects are worse then deal with the add and adhd.

my son started having seizures after being on medicines and still is having them every day even on medicine and now waiting to see if having the VNS surgery will help him .and you see the kind he has a lot of them get worse and not better and have more health problems and some die at a young age.and I worry every day that I could loss my little boy or that he may have to live with family if something whre to happen to me and my husband.

way down there, towards the bottom ive got a post about a possible solution to helping ADD/HD. Its called Neurofeedback. However even if you can't afford it or find a therapyist, a simple 1 time QEEG from a specialist may provide very useful information into what drugs may or may be more effective. I got the play the "ooo lets try this and see what happens" game growing up. Wasn't fun.
