Partner I understand about the med's, but....
Both my son and my wife are ADD all over the place. No medication = no life. We have tried every "non-traditional" approach (no pills) and they failed miserably.
Once we found the right doctor and combined medication with behavior modification and exercise things got much better.
Both are also bi-polar which adds loads of fun to the mix. This might be something you could speak to a doc about as the two seem to go hand in hand.
For more specific info, PM me. The full rundown is long and tedious for a regular thread.
