My son was diagnosed with ADD without hyperactivity in 7th grade. Also, his older sister and cousin have ADD with depression. I read a lot early on - in the '70s and '80s. I'll definitely look into Healing ADD. It might be something my son would read - he reads a LOT. He was on Cylert, Ritalin and Concerta on and off for about 7 years. The biggest change was in his hand writing, it became legible. But he always stopped responding and became more irritable. Don't think we ever got the comorbidity issue diagnosed correctly, therefore the meds combinations never really worked.

It doesn't help that he is seeing his 7th psychiatrist. That is mainly due to hospitalizations in 3 different facilities and insurance issues with a few cases of incompetence(i.e. med changes w/o charting changes etc). There is no hope of finding an adolescent psychiatrist, he is in a very small town.

Congratulations on finding a treatment that works for you. Good luck!
