I am the mother of a 15yo boy with ADHD.  The meds he is on is Concerta 36mg as will as, Amino Acids but we have tried all the others except Ritalin.  Recently the meds have not been working as well to help with focus or staying on task, plus now they are creating health problems like increased BP, chest pains and now depression (which is connected to both ADHD and meds).  We have no desire to start Ritalin as my oldest use to take it and those we know that are currently taking it have shown same or worse health risks, mood, agression and behavior problems.  I want to find an alternative (herbal or natural) treatment that has been proven to help with the symptoms of ADHD without the health risks or side effects as standard meds.
