Guest guest Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 AMEN to the ADHD comment MM! We have one out of our six with adhd and I CAN NOT imagine going another day without meds. That poor kid was just as miserable as we were when we tried to take him off. He just could not handle himself and we did EVERYTHING we were told to try. I just couldn't take it anymore, I just felt so bad for him. Now he is like a different kid. He takes adderal as well. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 a, Yup. I fought for a couple of years to avoid putting either of mine on any meds, especially as they were drug exposed and premature infants. But, once they got to school, and other people got a load of what they were like during the day, the school said they needed something to function in school. We tried all the herbals and organics recommended, including diet changes, etc. They just didn't have any effect at all. So, we went to Adderol. I hate Ritalin, the old way. We tried that with my eldest son, and when it wore off he was a wild animal. No kidding. Adderol is so much easier on their systems, and even when it wears off, the effect is much less noticeable than Ritalin. Glad you found it, too.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Welcome to the group. What you are feeling is natural. Its the fear of the unknown that scares a person. Some of us go to The Komen Race for the Cure races and we went to DesMoines one year. We normally don't have chat anymore as Yahoo can be a real pain in the butt. I moderate everyone till I know what they are posting about and was going to take you off of moderation but Yahoo doesn't have you listed yet. Hang in there with me. I will do it as soon as your name comes up. You are in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Hi, Carol - - and welcome to the TexasTOPS site; I am new to the loop, also - - but am really enjoying the communication and support these people hand out so generously! They really have "TOPS HEARTS". I am also a new KOPS (made KOPS in May), even though I have belonged to TOPS for 25 years. I've tried every diet in the world, and have lost hundreds of pounds, but was never able to stick to anything that I could really call a "lifestyle" change until January of this year when I got on The South Beach Diet. It is GOOD/LOW FAT & GOOD/LOW CARB, and allows me to eat most of the foods I like! I can even have snacks that no other diet allows! The secret is finding something that works for YOU - - - ((((((((((HUGS))))))))))) Clara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
