My son is 10 years old and has been taking Ritaling for the last 4 years. This past May he started becoming very aggressive and with drawn. After school let out for the summer, I weened him off his meds. He became more out going, gained 11 lbs., and became the loveing child that he used to be before medication. He also started playing outside more and even if there were no other children to occupy him. Now that school is back in, we are falling back into the same rut. The bad does not out way the good but yet I don't want him to feel as if he is stupid. I have him on the low sugar, no artifical color, and no caffine diet. He also is taking Karate. I have recently started him on the omega-3's and multi-vitamin as suggested on the all natural supplement. What else can I do?
