Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Well Yeah! He can accompany us to Starbucks! Penny :-d RE: Re: Change of Plans UGH!! I often drink coffee before bed. I'm no where's near hyper though. Think I'll try it for him though. He actually likes coffee, so I will give him that until I get to the store. ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 ellen - It probably won't work for ALL kids, but yes, caffeine is known to calm a person down. (Like me :-) ) I can attest to this because Jacqui had a SEVERELY ADHD child in her K class, and his Dad was much against medication. Mom always made sure he had his Mountain Dew before coming to school. He is now on medication and doing very well. Penny :-) RE: Re: Change of Plans Leggs, So, in general, if caffeine calms a kid down, then he's " hyperactive " right? We're giving up on the Strattera, unless we can get it in a smaller dose, and I don't want to go the stimulant route if we don't have to. Just wondering if Mountain Dew is worth a try? ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
