The medicine that she is on can make things worse and not better.They have a lot of bad side effects.There are other things out there that look like ADD and ADHD.
But are missed by Doctors because it is easier to just say a child has ADD or ADHD and sometime both.
If you look on line there is a lot of info out there about how children are being given these drugs and the Pharmacy is making money because of it.
These drugs are like street drugs ,and a lot of people on the street take them to get a high and then they can't live life with out them.Because they are like speed. and hard to come off of.And if they try they get sick .And you can have the side effects for the rest of your life.And have to take another medicine to take care of a new problem that you got because of taken the medicine you took in the first place.
My Son took medicine for ADD and ADHD and it change him ,not for the better.He now has Seizures everyday and has been a lot of Medicines and not one of them have stopped the Seizures even thou he had what they call the VNS put in this last June and he takes 6 different pills a day twice a day and still has Seizures .
The one thing that has helped him with his learning and calming down is Vitamin B6 and Omega 3-6-9. I would ask Doctor about giving her the Vitamins and how many MG she can have once a day.
Is she on Ritalin when she comes to see you? If she is taking the pills on the weekend when she visits, does she take the pills or do you give them to her?
