What can i do with my son?

Question

who geys hyper after his ritalin la runs out

Answer 1

Take him outdoors and have him run! I'm serious you can take him to the park, or if he has a bike let him ride that. Any physical activity is really good. Even if you just take a long walk with him that would help. Try to keep up on the medication because having him go without it makes things worse. I know I have a child who used to get very hyper. Have a good day.

Answer 2

give him melatoin you can give it to him in a capsule or get the tea its in the vitamin section at stores it wont harm him or anything my ped. told me to do that for my daughter. She is on that Focalin XR works great!

Answer 3

You may want to mention this to his doctor. His medication may need to be adjusted or even changed. I have a son who has ADHD and takes Concerta. His medication has been adjusted a few times.

Answer 4

when my son who is now 23, was on Ritalin, and his ran out i use to eliminate sweets and foods containing red and orange dye in his diet this seem to help, also orange juice and pop as these seem to increase his hyperness, if these don't work watch his diet and see if you can find what foods he is eating that  increase the hyperness and eliminate them or decrease his intake of them my had adhd and through process of elimination i got him to where  it was a tolerable level    GOOD LUCK

Answer 5

Answer 6
