CBD oil for children with ADHD?

Hello, I’m new here. My daughter was diagnosed 3 years ago with adhd. It’s been a frustrating journey trying to fully understand and accept exactly what all this means for my child and us as parents. Last year we tried a couple meds with pediatrician but not like the results and my daughter did not like the way they made that her feel. So we start fast forward to now we don’t have it in appointment next month with a psychiatrist to discuss possibly doing non-stimulant medicine. I’m curious to know if anyone uses CBD oil‘s for their child treatment plan with ADHD? And if so please elaborate on your experiences pros and cons. Thanks .... from a mom.

I tried a broad spectrum cbd oil with a high absorbtion rate (85%) when oil placed beneath my tongue for 30 secs. I felt no significant difference over a period of four months. I quit taking it (because of the cost). Two things I am sure must be true with any cbd oil. It must be broad spectrum (only CBD oil) with an absorption rate of 85%. The pure CBD can only be placed below the tongue. I see it marketed by placing the oil in gummies and poured over ice cream. I see the CBD oil mixed with other oils. ABSORPTION! It is oil at it has to get into the body and that excludes the digestive trac.

my 10 year old son with ADHD and anxiety disorder who has violent fits and refuses to do work. We tried so many different stimulants and non stimulants and NOTHING worked. He even developed an OCD tick from using his last medication. As of now, if I give him half of a tincture of 500mg in a little bit of ice t, within an hour he becomes calm and collected, he will even start his work without being told to do so. The downside is that it only lasts a few hours and I have to give it to him again. Honestly, I would try it if I were you.
