Hell I HAVE not eaten one piece of food today at all which is NOT NORMAL the thought of food is making me sick to my tummy my head is spinning and hurts I've freaking basicly stoped my life Monday when I decided to take him to the docs Tue.. I am so damn down on myself right now all the times I've yelled, cussed, spanked smacked my baby and now I find out he may have had NO controll over this and dont know better..

The thought of having a kid with a mental problem is bothering the hell out of me I know there is a lot worse that could of happen, he could be dead, or any number of worse things that kids go through....

Tom, adhd is NOT a mental problem. In most states it is consider as a medical issue and schools do not get any more money when a student is diagnosed with this illness. Yes, most teachers and administrators would like you to sedate your child to make their life easier and request drugs. However, you do not have to comply nor does the child.

With a true adhd, the drugs given are stimulates and do the reverse effect. I am not a doctor but if your child is not drinking anything with caffeine, try giving him a cup of coffee at night. If he falls asleep like a baby, he may be adhd and if he doesn?t, it may be that he is just acting out and needs more attention because he is hurting and doesn?t know how to express it.

Good luck and try to keep your little one off those drugs.
