I can't answer the herb question by may I recommend Strattera if he hasn't tried it.  My 14-year old is on the honor role, goes to bed on time, has several close friends and eats normally.\n\nPrior to 6th grade he was on stimulant types like Adderall, Ritalin and others that supressed apetite and made him scrawny and unhealty looking. They also made him moody and he fought taking them. Thanks to Strattera he has a great shot at college and a normal life.  I have no affiliation with whatever company makes it, it just has worked wonders for my son.\n\nIf you'd like to chatt offline I'd be happy to.

if it is an "infant medicine," such as children's ibuprofen suspension, it is based on weight, or weight and age for some drugs.\n\nif it is an adult medication, chances are 1) the medication is completely unsafe for children or 2) it is impossible to give a small enough dose without using some very accurate instruments (balances that go to six decimal places, etc.).\n\nfor prescription meds, the best thing is to visit your doctor, have him/her examine your child, and ask all your questions there.  most answers you can get from YA! aren't going to be of any use because these people don't know you or your family.  (much of pharmacokinetics is genetic... gender and age also play major roles.)\n\nfor over-the-counter, ask for a consult at your local pharmacy.  i've never been anywhere that charges for this service, they only sell medications... advice is free.  they have various charts and medical references that most people don't have access to, and they can tell you an appropriate dose if it isn't specified on the package insert.\n\njust keep in mind that any chemical that goes through the body needs to be metabolized.  usually this is done by metabolic enzymes in a healthy liver, but a child's liver may be too immature to handle certain compounds.  an active drug may be harmless while its metabolic byproducts can be toxic, and if the liver doesn't clear those away quickly enough, your treatment may do more harm than good.

Pharmaceutical companies and psychiatrist have gone to bed to create one the biggest profit centers in the history of legal drugs. \n\nAsk yourself this question and really think about the answer. What kind of society drugs its’ children to force their compliance with the system? Drugging has become a tool of conformity and control. \n\nThe DEA found that methylphenidate had nearly identical effects on humans as amphetamines and cocaine. \n\nThis powerful stimulant, that has the highest abuse potential and dependence profile of all drugs that have medical usefulness, is prescribed mostly to children. By the mid nineties, methylphenidate sales leveled off at 11 million prescriptions per year. Around that time the sales of other amphetamines (primarily Adderall, used for treatment ADD and ADHD) increased from 1.3 million prescriptions in 1996 to 6 million prescriptions by 2000. According to United Nations data the United States of America consumes 85% of all methylphenidate production. Of this 85%, 80% is prescribed to children. Apparently, ADD and ADHD are not common afflictions in other parts of the world.\n\nIn 1985, 500,000 American kids were diagnosed with ADHD. Today, between over 7 million children in the United States are labeled with this disorder. \n\nWhat happened in the nine years between 1991 and 2000? In 1991, the United States Department of Education made children with ADD and ADHD eligible for special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Act. In 1991, kids diagnosed with ADHD or ADD became eligible and entitled to extra government funding for their schools. School districts across America now had a financial incentive to label kids with ADD and ADHD. \n\nIt is pretty clear that we have become a society that drugs its’ children for financial gain and to force compliance with the system. Schools have a financial incentive, but why would parents drug their kids? Some parents who resist are threatened by schools and social workers. They are told refusing to medicate their kids is akin to abuse. \n\nMany parents cooperate in the drugging of their children, because if their kids have a “disease”, it is not the parent’s fault. Behavior problems are the parent’s fault, while a disease is out of their control. Parents are labeling their kids, so they do not have to take the responsibility for their child’s behavior. This behavior may be nothing more than rebellion to conformity, but nonetheless embarrassing to the parents. Support groups for parents further these beliefs. Not surprisingly, groups like CHADD, Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, are funded by Ciba/Novartis, maker of Ritalin. \n\nWorse yet, they are teaching these kids that they are not responsible for their behavior either. If they misbehave, it is the disease in control. Then they drug the kid and credit the medication for his good behavior. These drugged kids become nothing but shells of human beings, not responsible for themselves and addicted to powerful drugs.\n\nADD is not even a real disease. According to Merriam- Webster’s Dictionary, ADD is a syndrome of disordered learning and disruptive behavior that is not caused by any serious underlying physical or mental disorder and that has several subtypes characterized primarily by inattentiveness or primarily by hyperactivity and impulsive behavior or by the significant expression of both. There are no physical or chemical abnormalities conclusively associated with ADHD. \n\nDiagnosis of ADD comes from observation of the subject. How can you diagnosis a mental disorder, like attention deficit, by observation of physical activity? The people who diagnose children do not have any idea of the mental functioning of the subject’s brain. By the syndrome’s name it implies that the subject can not keep his attention focused, he has lack of attention. You could possibly say a person’s attention was not on a certain subject, but that does n

Believe it or not I have never tried any type of drugs. I'm 30 now. It has been offered to me and I have even held it in my hands before but chickened out. My mom talked about it with me at a very young age and same with cigarettes. Never smoke those either. Just talk to your kids all the time about it!
