Anyone Used Alternative Treatments for ADD/ADHD ?

My 12 yr old tried 3 or 4 different medications before finding success w/ Concerta 2 yrs ago. It is no longer working, even after increasing the dosage a few times. We just tried another med, Vyvanse, which is not going to fit either. Does anyone have any advice on alternative medicine, biofeedback therapy, etc. Where in the Baytown or surrounding area can we go for such treatments as these?

What can I do next?

I have an 9yr old son with PDD(NOS) aka ADHD. We have also struggled with finding the right medication for him as well. I take my son to Delpechin Children's Center. There are several locations, including one in Baytown. My son is currently taking Concerta and we are too having to increase the dosage. It seems to work so far. However; Delpechin is GREAT. My son has a therapist as well as a psychiatrist for medication. The therapist does great with my son. His therapist gives us a suggested family plan to help with our son. We have found it help very much.

Hope this helps!

Strattera is a great match for us, ask your childs doctor about it. My 14 year old daughter has been on it for 6 years and works just fine.
