My son was diagnosed with ADHD today, finally. What is the best medication for this? I was looking at Vyvanse which has mild side effects and has been highly rated for it’s effectiveness. Has anyone tried Vyvanse for their child?

Also, if you know of any alternative treatments or methods that work well along with medication, I am interested in these too.

    Go with methyphenidate product first before trying amphetamine product in a 6 year old. Concerta at a low dose would be a good choice.

    please don’t give your child pharmaceutical poison. A change in diet will work wonders. absolutely no sugar (fructose corn syrup). No meat. and lots of fruits and vegetables.
