A member asked:
Are there supplements to help with hyperactivity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Supplements may cause hyperactivity. Some herbals contain barbiturate like chemicals that sedate people. Most herbal medications are more dangerous than the medications used to treat adhd properly. There was a recent report that omega-3 fish oils may impact adhd positively, but the effect was tiny.
