[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 291205, member: 1550"] Well, I think we are grossly overmedicated. I think some psychiatrists throw way too many medications at kids--one for this, one for that, etc. and in my opinion that can make kids worse or dope them up, but kids can't really articulate how the drugs are making them feel. As an adult, I just go by what helps me. I don't trust miracle cures, hocus pocus medicine, hocus pocus dietary changes, etc. If it helps me, I do it. The medications I'm taking help me. I dont' analyze it. I also think my exercise routine helps me A LOT. I have tons of energy and pep and I'm going to be 56. I don't feel slowed down much AT ALL. I think five day a week exercise helps me stay positive and helps my medications keep working for me. But I've been on medications that made me feel lethargic and plain terrible--a whole laundry list of medications that I refused to keep taking or that landed me in the hospital due to side effects. If a dietary change or supplement helped ME I'd use it, but I wouldn't pay a fortune for vitamin treatment. I know people who have done that for their autistic kids.
