My son was diagnosed with ADHD 3.5 years ago and was treated with Ritalin successfully for the last 2 years, then began to decline to respond to the drug. In Sept we attempted a trial with Dexidrene with ablolutely NO change. He lacks any productivity in school and the desire to participate, feels isolated, and basicly most of symptoms an ADHD child would display. I took him to a child psychologist who has now also diagnosed him with depression and has prescribed effexor. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I am open to ideas and looking for more resources for info! All though I don't doubt that drug treatment may be successfull, I am still more reluctant to try home remedies!! Thanks. Kat
