    The doctor didn't try a different med to help you? Have you asked him for something else? Does he know you are struggling?

    Did you go off the most recent med on your own (without telling him)?

    Actually, it has a lot to do w/what you eat. NO sweets, No addictives, such as coloring to certain foods, nothing of acids, such as oranges, lemons, etc. No sodas, It has the addictives, & sweet. Believe it or not you can drink a cup of black coffee. It has the opposite effect on a hyper child, than adults..
