Re: 新藥Strattera 斯德瑞24小時非興奮劑藥物-- 治療注意力不足過動症

Hi,

I have a 14 yr-old son who has been diagnosed wih ADHD since 1st grade.  I read a lot of information on ADHD and the one that I highly recommend is the book "Healing ADD" by Dr. Daniel Amen.  This one truly helped me understand this disorder and how to better help your child.

Based on his research and clinical practices, he found that there're 6 types of ADHD and each should be treated differently. (Some types cannot be treated with 興奮劑藥物.)  In his book, he talked about diet, medication, supplement, ... to help each type of ADHD.

My son was first on Ritalin, then switched to Concerta.  He tried Strattera for a while but wasn't a help at all.  At that time, I didn't understand why.  After reading Dr. Amen's book, I realized that my son is the classic ADHD, which is caused by low (under normal) activities in the pre-frontal lobe of the brain which controls the attention, impulse control, and decision making.  Taking stimulants like Ritalin or Concerta will help activate that part of the brain, hence improves his attention span.  Strattera, since not a stimulant, will not help in his case.  However, it could help a different type of ADHD.

So, it depends on your child's individual case to know whether one would work or not.  If you search "ADHD Amen" on google.com, you'll find a lot of links too.

Re: 新藥Strattera 斯德瑞24小時非興奮劑藥物-- 治療注意力不足過動症

我囡囡(3歲) 都好似有"注意力不足過動症", 但我成日都比老公話我過份緊張, 如果個囡要食藥我會喊.

請問各位小朋友幾歲發現有"注意力不足過動症"及點様克服(是否需要)給小朋友用藥? 點樣轉介?

Re: 新藥Strattera 斯德瑞24小時非興奮劑藥物-- 治療注意力不足過動症

3 years old is usually too early to be diagnosed, unless she is extremely severe. Kids have to be kids. I would be more concerned if a 3-yr-old is quiet all the time.

Nonetheless, here's a good summary about the signs and symptoms of ADHD:

To do a home self evaluation, you can try one of these top rated diagnosis sites:

Sherrichan

Thanks very much for your sharing.

About the book,  <healing ADD ....>.
I believe it's a good book.  I have already
checked with Amazon and I found Dr. Amen
got another book that's called "The healing
ADD Power Program (Ring bound).  Have
you read that book as well?  If so, any idea?

By the way, do you know any chinese
version of <healing ADD> could be bought?
I am interested to get one.

Thanks, Sherrichan.

Re: 新藥Strattera 斯德瑞24小時非興奮劑藥物-- 治療注意力不足過動症

I hadn't read that one yet (because it was huge in size.)

Maybe I can share why that particular book helped me so much.  Since my son was diagnosed w/ ADHD, I went thru many phases of reaction.  First, I thought he's mis-diagnosed because he's just 顽皮.  So I read lots of parenting books and tried to improved my parenting skills.

A year later, he was diagonosed again with ADHD.  Both my husband and I felt relunctant to put him on medication.  So we tried: 感覺統合訓練, Interactive Metronome (IM), behavior modification, special plan with teachers, diet, fish oil, special "focus" vitamins...  Spent lots of money and few gave good lasting results. Finally, the school pushed us to put him on medication.  It did help.  However, we're very concerned with its possibe long-term impact to his liver.

As you can imagine, how we felt in all these years with all these effort.  A lot of times, I felt I'm just trial-n-error, and never sure why.  What made me even more confused was seeing some other "trouble behavior" children who demonstrated different behaviors (e.g. aggressiveness) than my son (mostly inattentiveness) also got classified as ADHD and were treated with the same medication!  So why?

Not until I came across Dr. Amen's book.  His classifications of ADHD are different than the others.  He explained how ADHD is caused by low- or over- activity in different parts of the brain, and how different diet, vitamin, medication would help in each case.  He also talks about what parents & teachers can do to help.  Lots of suggestions, brief but quite comprehensive.  This book kind of summaries all the things I've tried and explained to me why some worked and some didn't.

Now I have a total different understanding on my son's behavior and various treatment plans.  Thanks to this book. If you were someone like me who like to understand why's, rather than just take doctor's words.  This should help too.

Since I used to live in the US and moved to HK only recently, I hadn't have chances to find good Chinese books on ADHD. (I read a few borrowed, from the library, but not too good.  Mostly offers only very basic info.)

Sorry for the long reply.  Hope this helps.  God bless!

Re: 新藥Strattera 斯德瑞24小時非興奮劑藥物-- 治療注意力不足過動症

Sherrichan

Really thanks for your sharings again and
it does help.

I think I will get a english version later
from amazon.

One therapy you mentioned  -
Interactive Metronome (IM) that
I have no idea. Could I know what
is it?  I have never heard that before.
Does it works for healing ADHD?

Overall except drugs, could you share
what kind of therapy or supplements
do you think it can works a bit for
ADHD  in your experiences? In fact,
give drugs in a early age is not the
first choice for us.

Thanks and sorry for bother you again.

P.S. Have you heard of <FOCUS> which
is a org. and set by a group of  english
native speaker/ ABC/CBC parents?
They have monthly meetings in St. John
Catherdral, Central.  My friend said
<FOCUS> is a very supportive group
for those ADD/ADHD family. You might
join them as most of them are from
States or UK.

Re: 新藥Strattera 斯德瑞24小時非興奮劑藥物-- 治療注意力不足過動症

HelloMelody,

You can learn bout IM in this website:
http://www.interactivemetronome.com

Like all other treatments, it does not heal ADHD, but helps to improve their focus.

-----------------------------------------
What worked for my son (and for us):
1) A very structured daily schedule.  (They don't handle surprises too well.)

2) Immediate rewards/punishment (Rewards need not be material things.  They could be praises or a hug.)  "Immediate" is especially useful when they were young.

3) 30-min daily exercise (it helps to release dopamine which helps attention.)

4) Special low-carbo diet: No carbo for first 3 days, then only a very small amount in other days.  (This is very difficult to follow for he hates veggie, but crazy about bread, noodle, pizza, rice....)

As my son is becoming a teenager, it's difficult for me to reinforce all these on him now.  But he still takes these daily:
- Concerta
- Fish Oil (that has highly concentrated EPA and DHA)
- L-Tyrosine (Amino Acid)
- Mutiple vitamin

------------------------------------------
Thank you for informing me about FOCUS.  I just learned about it from his school.  Do we need to be a member in order to attend their meetings?

How old is your child?  Has he/she been diagnosed?

Re: 新藥Strattera 斯德瑞24小時非興奮劑藥物-- 治療注意力不足過動症

Sherrichan

Thanks again for your IM info and No 2 seems
using similiar direct play therapy method.
(Dr. Norma Leben uses direct play therapy
healing ADHD kids in Texas).

You was trying your best and using
different kinds of healings to help your kid
but it seems final only drugs can help most.
That makes me think of the brain of our
kids are real hurt.  Have you heard of
Glenn Doman?  He had helped some brain
injury kids before.

My son is nearly five and was diagnosed
mild of ADHD when he was 1.5 years
old but diagnosed as an aspergers
after 3. I have been paying attention
to his ADD signs .

Have to say sorry that FOCUS gathering
venus was changed, not at St. John
anymore.  I was a member of FOCUS
and I attended their meetings
only once.

You do not need to be a member
if you attend their meetings.
If you join them as a member, then
you can get their newsletters or other
talks info..... Please check with their
website or contact person before meeting
them.

About FOCUS, pl. visit

www.focus.org.hk。

Re: 新藥Strattera 斯德瑞24小時非興奮劑藥物-- 治療注意力不足過動症

Hello Melody,

Thank you for being so resourceful. I checked out the two doctors you mentioned and definitely agree that early parental intervention with fun play activities and visual flash cards would help a lot. (I may try using Doman's method to teach my children Chinese.) Ha!

A friend of mine has an austistic son. She implemented a rigid training program for him since she found out about his condition at 3. Now he's 7 and has improved dramatically. Your son is still very young. Every one of your hard effort will pay off.

有些事向各位指教，希望幫忙！

我兒子10歲，但至今還是不懂吞藥丸，但不吃藥極影響學業，因為我覺得唔抵，因孩子是gifted child，是否有藥粉服用？可有醫生介紹？煩！

Re: 新藥Strattera 斯德瑞24小時非興奮劑藥物-- 治療注意力不足過動症

I help my friend to ask some questions.

Any good doctor recommend for the ADHD kids?
How much the fees?

She got one from her friend that the doctor charge her $1500 for first time for one week and $600/week for the follow up treatments. Is this a reasonable price?

Please advise, thank you
