Hi,

>but he kept getting more and more hyped up. accoreding to this friend, sedatives have the opposite effect on ADD kids. is this true?

Sedatives such as benzodiazepines do sometimes increase hyperactivity in children with ADHD. This is not inevitable though, and they can still be effective in reducing anxiety. In general, unusual reactions to sedatives seem to be significantly more common in children than in adults.
