I’m at my wits end with my ADHD, I’m in my senior year of college and I need to get great grades. I’ve taken adderall in the past and its really helped but I was having pretty severe heart palpitations and was taken off of it. I am not being treated at all at this time, is there any non medicated treatment regimen that has worked for anyone else out there with adult ADHD. Exercise, fish oil, coffee, anything?

I am wondering if I also have ADHD inattentive type, I tend to be tired if I don’t get 12 hours of sleep or have some tea. I do space out sometimes, like just feel tired and stare off. I also have a hard time focusing on school work also. Their probably is more, I just can think of right now. Thanks for all your answers.

What is your personal opinion about the controversy of medicating children with ADHD?
What are some possible other kind of treatments? My sister has two children with ADHD and possible a third one. I have seen her children with medicine and without medicine. When her children are off the medicine they act up and can not sit still for any period of time. Thanks for the help.

I am wondering what works for others as far as behavior strategies, systems, plans etc. My son is six years old with several diagnoses including adhd, bipolar, and high functioning autism. His behavior is a major issue. We have tried time outs, reward systems where he got stickers and then a reward at the end of the week or day, 123 magic, and more with no success. Any ideas?
