I wouldn't jump to the dx. of ADHD. Medication if not absolutely needed, shouldn't be the first step in your treatment. I would research Allergies! Find out what you may be allergic to and remove it from your diet. It could be enviromental allergies or even chemical allergies. I suggest that you check out the NAET web site. There are testimonies of people who have had allergy induced ADHD, and were cured. Be encouraged there is hope.Another thing to consider is candida. NAET apparently works with many different medical conditions. You could call a NAET docttors office, tell the nurse you symptoms, and ask if she thinks they can help you work this out without medicine. I am going this route with my 3 year old son who has allergy induced autistic symptoms. Your diet plays a major factor in these types of problems. I suggest that you avoid too much sugar, and carbs. You may have hypoglycemia that could be corrected by diet and exercise. I wish you the best.
