Is there an alternative way to treat ADHD besides prescription meds?
Filed Under Alternative Medicine | 11 Comments
My seven-year-old was diagnosed with ADHD but we have not had any luck with the prescription meds. He has been on a couple of meds that have either made him violent or have caused him to feel “like his heart is exploding.” We found out that 9 kids have died from heart attacks on this med we just stopped. I do not want to put him on any other prescription medication, but his doctors are not being helpful when it comes to alternative solutions. Is there some type of behavior-modification I can use or a natural remedy anyone has tried? My son is incredibly intelligent yet having trouble with his school work because he cannot focus at all. I love him and I hate seeing him suffer because he cannot focus his attention.
Just for additional information: I homeschool my son so he does not have to sit in a classroom for 7 hours a day. So, any suggestions will need to be directly related to how to deal with the ADHD at home.
Thank you!
To be clear, my son has several activities outside of the home where he has the opportunity to make friends. He takes classes and “after school” activities just like every kid in public school. If you understood ADHD, you would know that a kid that suffers from it cannot sit still for 7 hours of school, that is why he has to be at home. Why would I subject him to getting in trouble everyday when he is not doing anything wrong just because he has to wiggle around and cannot sit still? Not every home schooled child is held away from society. I guarantee my son knows twice as many kids as a traditionally schooled child because of the amount of activities he chooses to participate in. Please don’t answer unless you are educationed about the state of the question!
