[QUOTE="riskybusiness, post: 66899, member: 678"] Hi all: I found this read really interesting. We have never tried caffeein for our difficult child. We probably won't try it until we can at least get his medications under better control. Our psychiatric is away till Mid September. Pooey!!~ Need his advice now and he is not around at all. In my area, you have to have a referral to get in to see a psychiatric that deals with children with ADHD behaviourals and they are few and far between. Our psychiatric is 62 years old. He is one of 3 in our area. The other two work part time are about 10 years younger and have a full practice and aren't taking any new clients. It is horrible!! Today we tried our difficult child on 2 18mg of Concerta as we did have him on 1 - 27mg and 1 18 mg. It was a bad result. Then we tried him on 2 - 27 mg tablets, even worse results. He was orignally on 1 - 27mg tablet with littl results in the concentration and focus area only his hyperness nearly disappeared. I think maybe I will try him on caffein over this weekend. I am up for almost anything. School right around the corner and we don't know where we are headed with his medications right now. I used to be one of the natural methods mom. We tried everything under the sun and finally moved to the medications to help. I am so glad we did but....we are still in the experimental stage. I hope we can find something that will work. He needs to have a better year and actually have some friends in his life. Today on 2- 18mg talbets of Concerta he was in trouble at camp 6 times and had to spend 15 minutes out of the pool because of it. Ahhhhhhh!! Mostly due to not listening and hands on. Maybe another medication is the answer however here in Canaada I think we are limited as to what has been allowed. Strattera was removed from the market for a bit and may still be and Adderal was removed and came back about 6 months ago I have been told. So at this point the caffein idea is sounding pretty darn triable. We will give it a shot. [/QUOTE]
