Ooops! Don't take with Orange Juice!
Just read the most ADHDmeds should not be taken within an hour of drinking citrus juices or anything with vitamin C, because the acid reduces the absorption of the medicine! Note to self...
I bet you find the current debate on kids being over-diagnosed, potentially, a bit of an interesting debate having experienced the actual disorder(s) on the front lines each day in your home.
Thanks. I think a lot of kids are under-diagnosed, or wrongly diagnosed. Not every kid has a mood disorder or ADHD, but who comes through life unscathed by something?
Thanks for the note to self, it helped me also. My son is ADD and i have been trying to get hi to take Vitamin C pil;ls in the morning for cold season. So now those will have to waint til dinner. Thanks
Good gracious! It's enough some days to want to check yourself in at your own RTC! How on earth are you supposed to keep all that stuff straight?!?!?!?
Wow. You really have your hands full.
