hello my 11 year old with ADD and increasing behavior issues was put on Ritalin and ability (for the aggression). Anyone have experience with this combo? And ideas on how to manage the nausea with the Ritalin? Thanks for your help.

Hi! I also have an 11 year old and just want t say that we tried stimulants for 2 years, and they actually made my son’s agression worse. He takes Amantadine now along with Brain MD supplements and a probiotic and fish oil. Just something to think about if stimulants don’t work out.

make sure the kid takes the Ritalin on a full stomach. Better if it is high in protein and low sugar.
