A lot of cases where children are diagnosed with ADHD, their problem isn't ADHD, but undetected food allergies, often to food dyes, preservatives and other alergens... The alergic reaction is almost identical and pretty much indistinguishable from ADHD. My daughter has allergies to Red food coloring, and when she eats it, she's mental for 3 days. Make sure to rule out those allergies before you allow them to medicate your child, because if all it takes is a simple diet change, it can save you years of grief.  Good luck man.

Interesting-both my daughters throw up when they get red food coloring. My SIL forgot and gave my 1yo red Kool-Aid and she barfed like there was no tomorrow.
