> I dont believe I, or anyone on this thread ever said not to follow your doctors advice. I tried all the standard medicines for ADHD , including Straterra and found no relief from my symptoms. I researched further and found numerous , university medical studies giving omega fatty acids merit. It is working for me . Obviously it wont work for everyone , as every persons condition is different. But to negate nutrional and alternative treatments for adhd as having no merit and calling it " snake oil " is sadly closed minded and frankly ignores numerous medical studies. Everyone must find what they feel is right to them . I found something that worked for me , I hope everyone on this thread find medicines or supplements that will help their condition.
I agree with you completely. I have done so much research trying to find the "perfect" medication for my son and so have his doctors. I give my son medication that they tell me to, but I also have to be on the look out for something (anything) that could help. ESPECIALLY if it is all natural. Strattera helps my son...that does not mean that it will help anyone else. This goes for all medication. All of our bodies are different and meds work differently for all of us. I also hope that everyone on this thread finds medication (natural or not) that will help them. NO ONE should have to go through what kids and adults do when trying to find meds that will work for them. Please do not stop posting suggestions.....they may help someone out there!
