I am using this supplement for my sons ADHD(he's 12 yrs. old.) So far we have seen only a slightly better attention span. However we have also a new 'growth spurt??? Not sure why? But he's welcoming it!

The Psych had put my 11 yr old son on Focalin (15mg).

The Psych had put my 11 yr old son on Focalin (15mg). I was afraid so only gave him 1/3 of the capsule the first day; he complained of a mild (2-5) headache throughout the day, but he was happy cause he could focus and complete his work. The next day I gave him 1/2 of the 15mg pill. This caused pressure in his head (8 on a 1-10 scale), pressure in his chest, weakness in his left arm and hand. I immediately rushed him to the ER. On our way day, he was telling me that he was seeing the civil war, Abraham Lincoln, the buildings on fire; he recognized that it could not be real, but they looked real to him. When we arrived at the ER, they kept him 12 hrs under observation and sent us home with instructions not to take the Focalin anymore (of course). The ER Doctor told me that had I given my son the full 15mg, he could have had a heart attack. His EKG was normal and my son has no history of heart problems. With that said, I ordered Focus Attention from Nature's Sunshine and since I like him suffer from ADD I decided to try it first. This Focus Attention has Deanol (DMAE) as part of the blend. The first day I felt a pain (3) in the back of my head and base of my neck. However, I was able to clean and organized the house leaving it sparkling clean in 4hrs. I had never been able to accomplish this. On day 2 I decided to take one pill again, hoping I would get used to it and have no headache. This time I experienced the headache once again, but accompanied by chest pressure (5). It does help me to concentrate tremendously. Since then, I only take 1/4 of a smidgen (if you have those measuring spoons) I feel a slight pressure in my head (about a 1-2) but no headache, no chest pressure and am able to concentrate. Today I gave my son 1/8 of a smidgen. He immediately felt a bit of pressure in his head (1-2) his eyes "open" and a small headache (1-2). However, he is happy to be able to concentrate. No chest pressure at all. I will lower his dose tomorrow to 1/16.
