My son was diagnosed with adhd about 1 1/2 years ago. he has had bad reactions to the meds. two of them almost hospitilized him for high blood pressure. The others make him act like a zombie. I chose, after discussing it with his doctor, to pull the meds and try behavioral therapy instead. Would like any tips or info from other parents who have chosen this.

ok, im 16 years old and i have A.D.H.D. i was diagnosed in the 2nd grade and have been taking medicine ever since. ive tried taking ritlian and adderall but the ritlian made me anti social and the adderall made me depressed. the concerta has been working the best even though it has its flaws.
