My daughter was on Daytrana for ADD, I wasn’t pro it bec she’s been on Zoloft as well, all due to pandas... now Daytrana has been itching and bothering her, and doctor suggested Adzenys - which is taken everyday. I hate medicating her, but the school basically said we haveto if we want her to stay in the school.
I’m nervous about side effects, abt getting dependent on it. Has anyone ever went the route of using vitamins fro health food store or the route of remedies from a chiropractor. Did u see success in those routes?

You can try to experiment over the summer if you want, but please try to get her set on meds before school begins again. Depending on your child it may even be worth medicating for camp. I clearly don't know your child, but I will say as a teacher that there are kids who ADHD ruins their ability to make friends. With no impulse control they are rude and inappropriate so no one wants to be their friend. It may be worth talking to her teachers about how the ADHD is manifesting that they're insisting on meds to find out if she needs them for camp too. Either way though, let her be able to start the new school year successful.

We started out using zinc, magnesium and omega 3s for my son when he was 5. He would have these fantastic mornings and then crash hard in the afternoon. It just could not last long enough in his system to get him through the day. We slowly added in Intuniv for impulsivity and when that was not enough strattera. We really did not want to go the stimulant route and as of now we have not had to.
