Are some ADHD meds considered "safer" than others?


Question:
There are SO many choices out there for parents who choose the meds route for their ADHD kids. I think some are frankly scary - being "black boxed" here in the US. Are there some out there that are "safer" than others when it comes to long term side effects, less mood altering, not supressing appetite, non-addictive, etc?? The child in mind is currently on Adderall XR - and I am looking for info on other med options for him. We are VERY open to adding more naturopathic treatments & supplements (he's already taking omega 3's).

Answers:
The best alternative treatment for ADD/ ADHD is EEG biofeedback also known as neurofeedback or neurotherapy. It is safe, effective with no known side effects. Do the research on the web using keywords like "neurofeedback and ADD". Click below on my webpage to learn about neurofeedback. I have see it work, it's incredible.
