[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 711224, member: 20727"] I've been reading up on namenda, it seems in the clinical studies it wasn't very effective on its own in treating children with ADHD but had very good effects when paired with a stimulant. My concern is that mine has HORRIBLE side effects on stimulants. I know the vyvanse is also a stimulant but its on of the few left that he hasn't tried. I also wonder if taking this at such a young age will have a positive outcome as far as the disease its intended to prevent goes. Alzheimer's runs in the family and supposedly the sooner you start treatment with these medications the better. But is 6 years old to soon? We know that the brain chemical glutamate is responsible for angering the NMDA receptors in the brain that leads to dementia. But what happens when we mess that before theres a problem? This is just some thought s that run through my head about these drugs, truthfully there is SO much that is unknown about the brain and how it works/develop that most medications scare the crap out of me to give him.
