[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 132668, member: 1233"] hi Jamie!!! Welcome to our soft little corner of the web. Adderal is an amphetamine, that is correct. Children with ADHD take stimulants to help and for many it makes a huge difference. I would be wary of the family doctor diagnosis. Just because pediatric psychiatry is NOT his field. You really need an evaluation by either a multidisciplinary team (major hospitals often have them) or a developmental pediatrician. I think he is probably a bit young for a neuropsychologist evaluation. We have a Natural Treatments forum here. Those who are there have many many ways to help. Allergy testing and elimination diets are one place to start. I know iwth my family the food colorings, preservatives and other additives tend to cause problems. Can you tell us about his development so far?? Is he hitting the develomental milestones appropriately? The Early Childhood forum has a list of developmental milestones. It is also possible that the sensory issues just overwhelm him and you can do things to provide the type of sensory input that he needs. Nuff said right now. Sending lots and lots of hugs, and a big ole rope swing so while you are dangling you can lay back and relax and look at the stars! Susie [/QUOTE]
