wow! Sounds like you have had a really tough time! I am glad you found something that works for you. I have to say we stuck with the stimulants and his concentration levels are better in school, however the tics are getting worse and he is finding them frustrating to deal with. It is hard to know what to do as a parent. The doctors have tried every medication licenced for ADHD now and they all have side effects. I worry that if I try to self medicate him, I will do more harm than good, also the added worry of going to prison for illegally drugging my child of course lol Even though I know there are things out there that would possible help him, I am not allowed to use them according to the government. Apparently they own our children and our own lives.. sigh :(
