Hi,
I thought the ADDForums members might like to see the current patient-rated Top 10 list of ADHD treatments since the RemedyFind ADD/ADHD section opened last month. A little background. Remedyfind is non-commercial and unbiased (not sponsored by any drug companies etc.). I started it 2 years ago to try to find help with treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (which I’ve had for some 20 years). After doing the CFS section I realized the same approach could also work for other health conditions and so the site has now grown to cover 19 conditions, with some 20,000 members and newsletter subscribers.
Obviously this Top 10 list has to be taken “with a grain of salt”, especially as so few ratings have been submitted to date. We are all different, and what works for one person won’t necessarily work for another, but my hope is that certain trends might show themselves over time (and after hundreds or thousands of patient ratings). We’ll have to see about that, but at least in the meantime I think it is helpful to hear other patient accounts of what has worked, or not worked, for them.
Obviously we desperately need more treatment ratings. If you have a few minutes to share what has worked – or hasn’t worked – for you it would be wonderful. Here is the address of the Remedyfind ADD/ADHD section - http://www.remedyfind.com/hc-ADD-ADHD.asp
All the best,
Brett Hodges
