When my son was 4,
I was told by his day care lady that he had symptoms of
A.D.D., and that she was attending a seminar about A.D.D. in the
following week, Would I like to come along and listen in.
I did and recognised all the same A.D.D. symptoms that my son had. I
went
and saw a specialist (who in fact was A.D.D. himself) - he put my son
on dexamphetamine, 2 tabs three times a day.
The change in my little boy was instant. very quiet, He listened, he
behaved. but...at night he had horrible
nightmares, night terrors, the doctor said, they sometimes happen, but
not to worry, they don't suffer any long term effects from these. So on
and off these terrors happen over the next five years.
Last year, I
became a supervisor with Herbalife and went through all the
testimonials hoping
to find something for my son. He was 11 then and hated taking the
tablets, he said they made him dopey and stupid and he was getting more
and more night terrors. By this stage I had weaned him down to 2
tablets a day (the thought of all those tablets everyday, all those
chemicals, was a constant source of debate between my husband and
myself for many years). So I decided to try my own little experiment.
I gave him one
dexamphetamine plus one Herbalifeline
and one NRG
in the morning and he took one Herbalifeline and one NRG to school and
had them with his lunch time dex. The Xmas holidays came and during
this time he would only have his morning dex plus Herbalife
2 times a day. His night terrors stopped; by the time Xmas was over he
had probably had one or two nights of waking up but no terrors. If you
have ever experienced them you will know how horrible they are.
When my son went back to school, he forgot to go to the office at lunch
time to have his dex, After a month he told me this and I saw his
teacher to ask how his behaviour was. He was happy with his progress,
but he would monitor him anyway.
It is now the 2nd May
2004. My son has just been on more school holidays where he didn't take
his morning dex either, but did take his Herbalife, So far so good, He
is 12 this year and dexamphetamine free. My
doctor tried to increase his dose saying as they get older, they need
more. I didn't want my son to be on these tablets all his life and
what's more he hated it.
Now he is happy, Sometimes he can be a handful, but I figure, he's just
a boy. If his school work is not suffering and he's happy and we are
happy then what more can I ask for.
Thanks to Herbalife,
everything is ok. All you can do is give it a go, but
remember its all trial and error, depending on the drug and what dose
you are on, will depend on how much Herbalife to use. You must do this
slowly and cut down the A.D.D. medication only when you feel the
person/child can cope without it. This worked for me.
If you have any queries talk to your doctor about it.
Thanks again Herbalife
