[QUOTE="maril, post: 267607, member: 5937"] I applaud you for considering further evaluation for your son! :happy: My son/difficult child has not tolerated stimulant medications well; for example, Concerta (methylphenidate) is one that had been tried and it caused him to hallucinate. At 17 years old, he has only very recently been given more definitive diagnoses ("mood disorder; history of ADHD; drug and alcohol dependence issues") and is undergoing treatment; unfortunately, it has become more difficult for us (his parents) to convince him to seek further evaluation and are concerned about his ongoing compliance with treatment. I wish we would have known more when he was a younger guy. A couple of years ago, we started him on an Omega-3 pill, but he resisted -- the pills were so large; we maybe should have but didn't look into other products. Anyway, I don't know much about alternatives to medications...not very helpful there. Good luck. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
