Question: Is there infant ADHD medications out there, that is not "harmful" on a pre-schooler!?
I have a little brother that is two years old!. Yesterday he was diagnosed with ADHD!. I don't find this surprising in the least bit because I happen to have ADD myself, along with my uncle!. It was quite obvious from the beginning that he was not "normal", and I had suspicions that he may of had ADD or ADHD a long time ago!.

Braeden's case is a little different from most ADHD cases!. He also has a rare metabolic disorder where he has a deficiency of enzymes to break down sucrose!.

What I'm curious about is if there is an actual medication that is "safe" for a toddler, with this disorder!? Braeden is at the point where he could get himself kicked out of daycare because of his impulsive actions and aggressive behavior!.

I know personally that Adderall has been a miracle for me!. I started taking it six years ago when I was in sixth grade, and it has made me a more social person and I began excelling in school!. Overall it adjusted my life for the better!.

I don't want my baby brother to go through the hard times that I had!.!.!. being rejected and feeling like you're a "mistake"!.

Is there anything!.!.!. even herbal remedies that can help suppress his ADHD impulses!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
treat the disease that causes him to be unable to breakdown sucrose!. don't put him on ADD meds, hes 2!? how can you tell he's hyperactive--he's a baby!.

ADHD is wayyyy to over diagnosed!. I would say definitely go to a new doctor!. Toddler's can't have ADHD yet!.

He's a kid -- his brain hasn't fully developed yet!. Decision making skills and skills that affect how he interacts with other children aren't acquired until age 7-8!. Not until he's a teenager could ADHD be diagnosed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!. You can't medicate a toddler!. It will negatively affect the way that they develop!. If you want to do that, then fine, but I think it's pretty stupid!.

Whatever, it's your baby brother!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
