RE: Medicating Children with Additional Needs

in #adsactly7 years ago (edited)

wow! Sounds like you have had a really tough time! I am glad you found something that works for you. I have to say we stuck with the stimulants and his concentration levels are better in school, however the tics are getting worse and he is finding them frustrating to deal with. It is hard to know what to do as a parent. The doctors have tried every medication licenced for ADHD now and they all have side effects. I worry that if I try to self medicate him, I will do more harm than good, also the added worry of going to prison for illegally drugging my child of course lol Even though I know there are things out there that would possible help him, I am not allowed to use them according to the government. Apparently they own our children and our own lives.. sigh :(

Thanks. Lol, self medicating isn't great. Have done a bit with supplements and drink from rebounds with the psych drugs ESP. Lol glad the filters for Irlen syndrome don't have side effects like those. Sounds rough though. Haha they are very happy to give out their own drugs. Even threaten legal to remove some. Not sure what drugs you mean.
I think any legal supplement is fine pretty much or OTC. I'm not too versed on helping attention problems, or even tics which is one of my main problems. Looking into nutrition in general and hoping to find answers. Tend to keep to myself a lot fear the mental coprolalia will turn into actually coprolalia again. Sorry it's so hard now. Wish had a good solution, but I've mainly been at a loss.
