Hyperactivity?

Question

Does anybody know a drug that reduces hyperactivity in kids?

Answer 1

cut the sugars form the child's diet, sign the child up for sports, keep him/her active.... the drugs have lasting side effects in to adult hood... try herbals before you medicate..

Answer 2

Dopamine, Norepinephrine and Serotonin reduce hyperactivity, but the best way to reduce hyperactivity in kids is not to give them drugs or sedatives but to change their diet. Hyperactivity is a disorder which makes it hard for the person who has it to process a protein called Casein. Casein is a protein found in all dairy. So, if put the child on a dairy-free diet  it should calm down. Because not being able to process Casein makes you unable to pay attention for some reason.

Answer 3

If you are talking about ADHD, I take Aderall (amphetamine) for it.

Answer 4

I find it hard to believe that this is treated with drugs.

Give your child a healthy balanced diet.

Remove highly coloured foods and drinks from their diet.

Fresh food is best because it does not contain high levels of colouring or preservatives.

Check the labels in the supermarket if buying packaged goods to see if the food has flavour enhancer or preservatives, if so keep these foods to a minimum or serve only fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, chicken, pork and meat.

Make sure your child has plenty of fresh air and excercise.

Try this before you start giving your child drugs.

Answer 7

Yes, it's called LOVE and ATTENTION.

Answer 8

There is, but it should only be used as a last resort. Therapy, diet and exercise changes should be tried first. Only then should this even be considered. ADHD has sadly just become a trendy illness for active or bored kids. Most doctors just write a precription because mom and dad would rather a pill do the parenting.

Some kids really do have ADHD, but no where near as many as have been diagnosed.

Answer 9

1st to start with, ADD or ADHD are not real disorders. they are the manifest symptoms of unhealthy lifestyles. Cut down, better yet cut out sugars and refined foods. replace them with healthy fruits and vegetables. Get them involved in an activity intense sport like soccer/basketball/track and field etc.

THEY DON'T NEED PILLS
