Looking for feedback about working with the Amen Clinic

[MommyP]

Hi folks, has anyone gone through the Amen Clinic's brain scan process? We are considering this for my 8yo son. We haven't found a medicine that works well without side effects. I would love to hear about people's experiences with Amen and whether it was helpful or not. Thank you so much!

For how long have you tried to find a right medicine?

I don't have any experience with the Amen clinic but it does look like an interesting option. Have you read his books or listened to his podcast? It might give you further insight.

I also thought this was an interesting but expensive option. After listening to his lectures on YouTube, he really goes in to details on all the different types of ADHD and how best to treat. It appeared that medication was often part of the treatment. My now 9 year old son also struggled for 2 years with stimulants but has found initial success with Intuniv. Have you tried that? We also do Barlean’s Omega swirl, Bacopa Monnieri,Zahler’s ChildCalm and Creekside’s Focus Jr.
