Why do people always start by suggesting a prescription?
I had mild ADHD as a kid, my Paediatrician suggested ritalin when I was 5-6 but my mum refused. My god-brother had severe ADHD up until about 2 years ago. He was taking ritalin and the side-effects really screwed him up. He didn't sleep, even when he took sleeping pills and could only eat in the middle of the night.
I was treated with acupuncture from grade 5 to grade 7. I didn't notice any changes but all of my family and the people around me did.
My god-brother was treated with acupuncture. At first he was completely against it and his mother really had to push to get him to do it. He started with laser treatment and then voluntarily moved onto needles. He was able to wean off of ritalin almost totally and only took it for exams so he was sure he could sit through them.
