Hello:
Our eight year old son is starting Ritalin LA - long acting. But I did a search on the web and found this product VAXA-Attend which they claim has the same effectiveness rate as Ritalin (about 70%). Has anyone tried it? It said it has over 70 natural ingredients. Just wondering.
Thanks,

I would also like to learn more about Attend. I just recently took my 13 year old daughter off of Dexedrine spansule due to a weight loss. She dropped down to 76lbs from 86lb over a 6 month period. Her doctor said that they are afraid to put her on any Stimulate medication.

I researched Attend a little today. I found an artical that compares Focus Factor to Attend. Attend has the essential fatty acids, amino acids and Endo membrane Lipid complexes which I have read about before. Focus Factor does not have all of these.

If anyone has had any experience with Attend please let me know.
Thanks,
Nels

I decided to try my daughter on the Attend and we are both glad that we did!!

Lindsey has been on Attend for 6 wks now with great success. For the first time she told me that she feels better!!

She has put on 12lbs and is happy and more compliant. I have actually had conversations with her about her day without auguring. I can hardly wait to see how this school year goes.

she still is very impulsive. We are working with a counselor to help her control her impulses. So far so good!
Happy Mom

For ya'll who are into natural products, beCalmd works well. Attend has more things in it but not everyone needs all these things, also beCalmd gives the specific amounts of whats in it, Attend doesnt. More people have tried beCalmd than Attend, I would be interested to try Attend & beCalmd together and apart to see for myself which works better. I also take a multi vitamin and omega 3, I have temporarily stopped the beCalmd to try strattera..... ick!!!! I think I'm going back to my natural products..
