Subject: Re: ADHD and Dyslexia Author: Gary [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:22:34 09/08/09 Tue In reply to: Someone 's message, "???" on 23:54:23 08/11/09 Tue I also was diagnosed with dyslexia at an early age. While here recently, I was diagnosed with having ADHD. And the doctors want to put me on medicine. Have anyone had any good results taking Ritalin?

[> Subject: Re: ??? Author: Christine [Edit] Date Posted: 20:11:19 09/20/09 Sun The only link between dyslexia and ADD/ADHD is that 40% of people with dyslexia also have some form of ADD/ADHD. The medicine may work for you or it may not work. We all have different brains so what works well for 1 doesn't necessarily means it'll work well for the next.That is also why there are so many different ways to teach someone who's dyslexic.We use different location in our brains to help us read,write,and learn. I am taking Adderall XR and it does work for me. I am dyslexic and have ADHD. It doesn't help my dyslexia. It helps me concentrate on things, when before; I couldn't pay attention even if I took a loan out. Unfortunatly, I don't know anything about the LCP Solutions. I do plan to read it. If you're looking at nutrition, it does help the body work better. You could have a sensitivity to certain foods that could result in ADD symptoms, that sensitivity most doctors would say is an alleric reaction or a sensitivity to a food. FYI:Stress will also make your symptoms worse. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
