Try voomie and see if that helps

I’ve known a couple of people with this issue and it’s certainly a worry. I’d definitely be taking him back to the Doctor to see if there is another alternative that suits him better. Thankfully he is talking to you about it an not just pretending to take them. Good luck.

Ritalin comes with some nasty side effects indeed and I can totally understand why some people choose not to take it, certainly when the symptoms aren’t that severe that you can’t cope with every day life. Occupational therapy can be very helpful to look into how to deal with your symptoms in daily functioning, learning, organizing your day, time management and social skills.

This is not an unusual situation – is he experiencing side effects? If so, discuss with your doctor as there may be alternatives that would suit him better. And did he give it a good go? Like, use it for say a month so the effects could kick in properly? Sometimes you get side effects before the benefits kick in.

Definitely a hard one, probably best to raise it with his doctor and specialists to see if the dosage can be altered or changed to see how he goes with it. I hope you find the answers youre looking for and get the best outcome for your little boy! All the best

I don’t have a child who has ADHD but i have a few friends whose kids do. I think go and see another doctor and get a second opinion as there are plenty of other medications out there that you can try. It is best to seek professional advice on matters like this. Good luck Mumma.
