My 9 yearold grandson was given catapres for adhd at night he is a zombie daytime im pulling out my hair?
Answer:
Drugs are not the answer for these type of problems. My son was also diagnosed about the same age and we were told he need Ritalin. We refused and really focused on his needs and education and ensured rules and good diet. No problems, I suggest you take him of it.
He may have been mis-diagnosed or given the wrong mediation bring him back to the doctor who prescribed him that medication and see if they would like to re-evaluate, I myself had the SAME thing happen when I was younger and I was put on Dexadrine and my parents agree that I was calmer in the day and slept quite well.
Well it's not working for him so either go back to the GP that you have already seen or go for a second opinion. What ever you do you need to do it fast.
adhd is myth, perpetuated by pharmacuetical companies who want to sell you medication, based on your fear of abnormality. its called "disease mongering" they sell pills, cures and remedies for anything you can think of. and youve seen the results: zombie child. the answer is take him to a chiropractor, get him x-ray back and neck, if the brain cant send the messages out to the body properly through the spinal cord, its easy to see why problems arise. forget the drugs, he will thank you for it later.
