Any Advice About ADHD?

Honestly I don't believe that this disorder exists. I supposedly have it too. My doctor wanted to give me pills. (what is it these days with doctors filling us up with pills????) I am active, overactive sometimes. That isn't a bad thing. I just make sure that I find constructive things to do. I just remain active. I have learned how to do many things with my energy such as projects around the home, I have taken dancing classes, I used to volunteer a lot. etc.... I think people, kids and adults just need to find ways to burn up the energy. Pick small things that will hold your attention for a few moments and gradually work up to the bigger projects. Pills are definitely not the answer.

not sure i like that she doubled his meds. my son has adhd. he was on meds for years. i took him off last year as i did not think it was doing anything. does he need the medicine? has he tried any natural alternatives?

You know, I started a discussion on ADD and ADHD and I didn't get a big response. I did get a few very helpful responses though. I suspect that my son might have it, but I haven't followed through on getting him diagnosed. From the research I've done, I've determined that he may or may not have ADD not ADHD. Somtimes I suspect that I had it as a child as will and that I have adult ADD now. I don't think it is so severe in either of our cases as to merit being diagnosed and being put on medication. If anything changes I will look into having him diagnosed. My concerns about being diagnoes with the disorders are that he would be "labeled". I have encountered a considerable number of teachers who have negative feelings about children who are diagnosed with either ADD or ADHD. They feel like this is an "excuse" for their behavior. I happen to disagree, but my opinion, unfortunately, doesn't carry a lot of weight with certain teachers. I fear that they way the treat my child will be affected by the label that my son is given, or by the perception that we are "making excuses" for him. Sorry, I think I got a little off track here... The other thing that concerns me is the medication. I guess that' is something that you have to judge for yourselves. Is the ADHD medication helping him to perform better at work. Is it helping him in life overall? If it is helping, it might be worth it to continue on it. I'd be concerned about the fact that those medications cause him to have to take more BP medication. I guess it's a matter of which of the two is the leser evils. Medicating or non-medicating. Good luck. I hope you find the answers you are looking for.
