My son is 8. He has ODD and ADHD. He has been on Quilichew for the past month and a half. This is the second medication we try. He's also on Melatonin to sleep. Are there other natural supplements recommended to assist him? He's always irritable, I know this is all part of the ODD.

DoTerra has an oil blend called InTune that they recommend for ADHD. They also have serenity and balance. I don't know if it's psychological or truly helpful but my son loves diffusing essential oils and seems very relaxed by it. I allow him to choose which oil he wants and put the drops in. They offer a diffuser that has changing lights and they had a whale diffuser that played nature sounds and stars would shine on the ceiling, in one color or rotating between colors. Or you could use them with no light at all. If therapy is available, I highly recommend it. They say if they have therapy before the age of 11, it's highly effective. Our therapy is home based through Children's Hospital. It's worth looking in to. Good luck

There is CMD. My children (13) and (16) both use it. It's 100% safe for use. But, you must check to see if it is allowed in your state. It's not allowed in some.
