rytalin,or alternative for add/apraxic?

[Guest guest]

Our daughter is ending kindergarten and now still dealing with moderate global

apraxia we have been dealing with attention problems which is impacting progress

in learning and progress in therapy. Every person that works with her indicates

her inability to focus/easy ditractability. The dr. of course wants to try

rytalin. Our nutritionist just suggested actyl -choline and a product called

synaptin which is supposed to be calmingto use with acytyl choline. The side

effect of the acytyl choline he said is possible irritabilty, but he said if the

choline works it is likely the rytalin would work--It's been our fear for the

entire school year to try the rytalin in that the side effects would be awful,

and that we'd have to deal with a whole new set of issues. Does rytalin have any

imact on the Apraxia? Also, we used phosphaline 2 years ago recommended by a

different nutritionist to stimulate language-it did but we had severe

irritability with that. I've tried the phosphaline in very small doses--1/4 tsp

a day since then and over a few week period the severe irritability starts again

and is difficult to stop even after the phosphaline is stopped,.??-Any input

would be apprciated. Cheryl
