For parents of ADHD diagnosed children..?

Question:

My 8 year old son has been diagnosed with ADHD and my friend told me that instead of medication she had her son take fish oil that she bought from the health food store and said that it has worked miracles and he is improving greatly. I am reading great things about it online but i would like to know if any other parent has used this and what are the results??

Answers:
my son has adhd and i have used calm child from the health food store and it did not work that great..I have resorted to letting him drink coffee on a regular basis and it works wonderful. He is more attentive and is way more calm than any medication can make him..I had him on several different kinds of medications that di not work before resorting to coffee..
Natural medications are alot better for young children than prescriptions

Other Answers:
you know I remember when adhd and all that stuff was called just being a kid.

Not fish oil specifically. Research diet and ADHD. The findings are surprising and encouraging. (Teacher, 15 years) I'm an adult with Adhd, I have no idea what the oil could be:S but I am on a medicine called "Straterra". It's made a big change in my life(believe me, I can now tell when I don't take my med.) There are somethings to each individual, that no med can change though, sometimes you have to over look problems and accept people for who they are.

I have not.I take adaral and it works for me and I have ADD (attention defficed dissorder.Eventually he will grow out of ADHD but he will still have ADD.you can also try strattera and concerta
