BEFORE taking medication for ADHD, have you tried to cut the sugar intakes ?

Blue skies.

I went through this with my son. We tried Ritalin (this was in the late 70s early 80s) and neither of us liked it. We were fairly successful with diet changes that included reduced/eliminated sugar intake, avoiding foods with dyes (especially red dyes), and adding a good vitamin/protein product.

We also learned that minimal intake of caffiene actually improved his ability to control himself, so we added weak tea and green tea drinks to his routine.
