[QUOTE="Babbs, post: 297970, member: 3820"] First off - welcome. Sorry that you've been going through what you've described, but you've definitely landed in a soft place. My difficult child's first medication trial was with Metadate CD. It worked ok for him - saw almost immediate changes in his attention and impulse control, but had to keep upping the dose and he was still struggling to hang in there during school hours. Vvyanse has been much better for him - first day on it difficult child told me "its like a snow plow cleared the confusion from my brain." But every kid has a different system and what works for one won't work for another. My question first off is how long has he been on the Metadate? If longer than a month or two and no change, it's time to try something else! The research data that I read on Omega 3s indicated that a dosage of 10g was needed before change was seen. That's the equivalent of like 3 tablespoons of fish oil!!! I found a supplement by the name of Bayleen's which emulsifies (sp?) the oil with lemon smoothie and you can't taste the oil - but it gets expensive fast. A single over the counter chewable pill won't get you close to the 10g that is recommended. I haven't tried vitE but swear by vit D supplements - I myself take a 4000 IU dosage and has made a huge difference in my health and mood. But I live the pacNW and so am sun deprived most of the time! [/QUOTE]
