  • Support Groups

    • Close ADHD / ADD

      callum is my middle child and has been on meds for his adhd for 2yrs, he is getting much better with behaviour and school which is a releif , but has started with this tapping of feet or fingers and doesnt seem aware that he is doing it and as he has started a new term at school , so im expecting his teacher to be having words with him although i have explained his condition and said i would be there yo support and help in any way i can .

      Treatments

      Concerta Somewhat Helpful
      It has calmed him down at school but i still have problems on a daily basis. He doesn't sleep very well at night and therefore causes problems the following morning due to lack of sleep. He also doesn't have a good appetite due to the medication and suffers severley from headaches.
      Melatonin Working / Worked
      i was a bit dubious at first , didnt think it wud work but hey ad a decent sleep over past few nites so great news keeping my fingers crossed and my toes.

      Treatments
