Hi, I'm new here and just had a few questions.. My DS is almost 8, has severe ADHD, but also has Aspergers, he currently takes Risperdal for mood issues, but it does very little to control his energy level or focus at school, some days he is down right out of control, almost being suspended off of the special needs bus.. He is extremely intelligent and very high functioning so he is in a regular class.. The school is pressuring me to put him on meds for his ADHD, but his psychiatrist won't do it because of the mood swings becoming worse and certain heart issues on his first EKG.. He has been on straterra before (the max dose for his weight) and it did not make a huge difference..(but that was before the mood meds and EKG)...


We have used omegas for leveling out mood.
My son has severe ADHD and highly functioning Aspergers.
