[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know of people who have had a lot of success from neurofeedback.  It's not popular in this area but in other parts of the country, it is a first line ADHD treatment with lasting effects.  [/quote]

We spent thousands, plus hours and hours on neurofeedback.  It did nothing.[/quote]

+1 also spent thousands and hours and unfortunately have to report absolutely no impact from neurofeedback. In fact, my son continued to get worse. We finally tried medication and it worked/works. Game changer. Also the pp who said neurofeedback is first line adhd treatment some places? I know of no where this is true (and am connected to the mental health field). The AAP clearly says ADHD meds are first line of treatment.

Op, I totally get it. As I mentioned we tried everything, neurofeedback, diet changes, supplements. Nothing.worked. First medication we tried wasn't a great fit, second has been a HUGE change in our lives. 100% worth it. 150%. Medication is what works best for ADHD. Please reconsider giving it a try. My son actually doesn't have big impacts to appetite with his stimulant. It is worth a try! [/quote]
