imthedivyone Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 My son Tucker is 6. was diagnosed when he was 4. He has been on medication because they diagnosed him with severe. A.D.H.D. He was on ritalin to start but I noticed the doseage getting higher with no help. He was still hard to manage. Now he's on Focolin. And there is a big difference. But the side effects of this medicine in troubling he has night tremors, sleep walks, and pees the bed. By the way he slept walked out my door one night and went to my neighbors house very very frighting. I have tried diet and excircise but that doesnt seem to help I have talked to his peditriation she tells me its not the medication but he wasn't having these problems before the Focolin. I'm scared for my son. I have had to put alarms on my door so I know when he sleep walks. And his night tremors scare the heck out of me too. If anyone could help or just give me some advice it would be great I'm losing my mind here. Thank you!!
Storyrider Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 I would recommend you find a discussion board focused on ADD/ADHD, as the people there would have the more specialized knowledge to help you. I am almost certain there are some out there. Good Luck!
shoesies05 Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 i agree with storyrider, look for a forum that specializes in this. It will get better, just be there for him. I know it must be hard as a parent to see your son like this, but just have faith that he will be well someday.
