So the net/net is yes, I started seeing a difference at the end of the second month. We started on the strategy pack. The Extress for the husband and son. The Memorin for myself and our son.

I started my 14 year old son, in January, with the Attend product. We (I) have been avoiding using ADHD meds consistently over the past 5 years because, of their side effects and long term risks. Our family GP and I started experimenting with different ADHD medication (there are dozens on the market) he was in the 4th grade. His current teachers were adamant that his behavior was intolerant to their classes and his quality of work was not what he was capable of.

He's a good kid, never in any serious trouble, just the usual "looking for attention" behavior. He's kind of a leader and the proverbial class clown. He is a funny guy, if you're not trying to teach a class of high school students. Is this what every comedian's mother has had to deal with? He is generally popular with his peers, but slightly immature for his age. As parents, we were so tired of our 9 years, quarterly trips, up to meet the teachers routine. It was always the same "buckle down, you can do it" speech. It would work for a month or so.

Why are so many millions of kids screaming in need for ADHD meds? Hmm, this is not a good thing for our society and it truly mostly our society. So after a year of research and purchasing a lot of books, talking to counselors, and physicians, ((I've spent a mini fortune, but I (you) need to know)) the general conclusion to all these books and consultations, it came down to diet, sleep and exercise.

So our family GP said give the Attend product a try, you're probably wasting your money. Ah-ha, not if it money back guaranteed, right? What pharmaceutical company offers that? He just smiled at me.

We kept him on his ADHD meds, for his teacher's sanity, my son's and ours. Being a teenage boy, he wasn't happy about me chasing him down to take bi-daily supplements. Being a teenage boy, he wasn't happy about me taking away pre-packaged and boxed foods (yes, all the boxed foods, including his favorite cereals and cookies, I did it slowly, I'm not cruel, he was addicted.) Being a teenage boy, he wasn't happy about going to bed starting around 9pm. He is OK as far as the exercise part though, because when you hyper-active you need something to do and your usually in a lot of activities.

As I said, I couldn't get much in him, 1 capsule in the AM and 1 capsule in the PM. 4 months later he's now on board and he takes and array of supplements, including essential 2 - Omega 3's 1000 mg. each, 1 AM B-Complex 5000mcg, 60 mg. CoQ2 Enzymes, and Whole Foods: Super Multi (that includes calcium/magnesium, extremely important.)

I didn't know anything about homeopathic medicines or nutritional supplements last year at this time. Vaxa's Attend, Memorin and Extress are all natural with positively and absolutely no side effects. If there any gastro problems, it's going to be our (your) dietary choices. No weight gain can come from a B-complex, enzymes and homeopathic remedies, as someone's doctor suggested in an early review.

ADHD/Memory/Stress in internal imbalance. The "Brain" needs Omega's 3-6-9 and quality B-Complex to function properly. The enzymes merely help digest and process the foods our body is being given. The homeopathic component is for calming and focusing, all really good stuff and expensive if you bought it all individually.

We've reduced our son's ADHD meds from 40mg to 20mg. He's got finals coming up over the next few weeks and I'm not willing to let him fly cold turkey. This summer I'll be able to supervise this whole process more closely. I'm sure he still not making the best food choice at school (yes, I even tried making his lunch again, we digressed on that issue.) The ultimate goal is to get him off ADHD meds. Our family physician is curiously watching and would love to see the same results we all wish for.

...It's not a 1 pill wonder like our society wants, it was lifestyle change. Our family won't go back to our old lifestyle of convenient boxed or packaged foods, we eat whole foods now. We go to bed early and we walk/exercise everyday.

Good luck... after reading all that I've read, I hope this helps you on your journey to find the right answers for you and your child, it is not the mass-marketed answers.

I own/run a business. For more years than I care to admit to, my memory and time management as well as my ability to handle the "day to day" decisions became elusive, at best. Each year, these problems became worse and I lost much of my business because of my ADD (just diagnosed last year). My personal relationships have suffered from it as well. I turned 40 this year and decided that I couldn't live like this any longer. I have a strong aversion to prescription medication but reached a point where I would do anything to change my life, even if it meant turning to meds.
I began taking Attend about a month and a half ago as a last resort before prescription meds. I am so grateful to say that Attend has worked better than I imagined. The first noticeable change occurred in just a few days after starting Attend: I no longer feel like I'm in a fog every day and my awareness of time is much improved. Probably the most interesting improvement has been in my conversations with people. Before Attend, I had a very limited attention span in conversations and began to feel a "jittery" sensation after a short period of time. Now, I'm able to calmly listen and actually comprehend what people are saying during the entire conversation.
My business is improving as well. As erratic as my business is, my ability to set priorities and my awareness of due dates has significantly improved. I started to see an ADD coach this week to help facilitate the changes I wish to see in my life. I **highly** recommend Attend.
For the IBS sufferers, I was diagnosed with IBS and have not had a problem with Attend. I also drink 2 oz. of organic aloe vera juice every morning. FYI: IBS is very often misdiagnosed. You may have a wheat allergy instead. If you haven't been tested for a wheat allergy, do so. IBS & wheat allergy symptoms are very similar. Most physicians aren't aware of that so you'll have to bring it up to them. I'm glad I did. No more pain, no more IBS medication. Unfortunately, no more beer, bread or pizza.

My son (10) has ADHD inattentive. He is not hyperactive, but has a lot of trouble staying on task. We've tried some other things and so I thought we could give this a try. We are taking 1 in the AM and 1 in the afternoon.

I am happy to report no adverse side affects besides getting him to swallow the thing:) His grades seem to be improving and I've noticed his attitude is slightly improved overall. He just seems in a better mood than before.

I cannot say anything specific the pill has done so I'm trying it for another couple of months to see if the trend continues to improve.

We have been using this product with our 15 year old daughter who suffers from Manic Deprresive disorder. We have tried all of the usual perscription ADD medications, everything from Ritalin to Concerta and Adderall, which only caused increased mania or anxiety or both. While I am not much of a believer in Homeopathy, it is hard for me to understand why this works, perhaps the base, which is a broad assortments of herbs and mineral all known to be helpful with neurological health are the key, perhaps Homeopathy works... who knows. What we can see is our daughter is more focused, and can concentrate for longer periods of time than ever before. She seems actually excited about doing her homework, and seems to plow through disappointmenets that in the past would have been a mini disaster. The other thing that seems to be key is that she is actually noticing the difference, and wants to take this stuff, which is a far cry from what we have heard from her on anything else we have tried. Ususally we get criticized for treating her like a guinea pig. The first thing she does in the morning lately is take one of these capsules, she has been taking one at lunch time too, when she remembers. Bottom line, it seems to work, and for my family, who has been over the river and through the dell with every kind of approach, that is a good thing.

Be Careful my son has now taken 6 weeks of the Attend 3 a day and his symptoms are WORSE!!!! More hyper. He has only suffered from attention issues and not issues with hyperactivity but the last few weeks he had become hyper and grades have fallen. I think I will go back to nothing he does better on his own. Just be aware of your own childs needs and responses It may work wonderfully for some but does not work for all. Its a game of trial and error and NEVER giving up and always loving your child for who they are!!! I wish you all luck in discovering what works for your child.

I'm typically extremely wary of products such as this, but I decided to try it, since the Concerta I had been taking to treat my adult ADHD had basically lost its effectiveness for me. I have to say that I was amazed at how much better I felt within just a few days of taking Attend. Almost every one of my friends and family members noticed the difference in my behavior immediately and pointed it out to me. I swear by this product now and wouldn't think of starting my day without it.

I grew up in the 70's, which was unfortunately before many kids were being diagnosed with ADD. I've spent my entire life (I'm now in my 40's) not knowing I had a learning disorder and found myself depressed and anxious as an adult. Predictably, I was diagnosed as being clinically depressed and put on SSRI's, which didn't work. After years of toil and frustration (ADD will get much worse when left untreated!) I finally turned toward the idea that I might have ADD. I was close to making the appointment for prescription medication when I decided to give ATTEND a try. After just a week I could tell that my focus and energy was starting to improve and my depression was lifting.

Attend has been very helpful with my son's ADD. We've seen an improvement in his concentration and behavior overall. I would recommend it to someone who's child has been diagnosed and doesn't want to use a prescription medicine.

It was with great skepticism that I began my son on a regimen of this nutritional supplement a year and a half ago. While I allow for a broad range of response to ANY treatment for ADD/ADHD; have augmented its use with additional individual supplementation; and implemented diet and exercise modifications in conjunction with its use, I can say without trepidation that this product really does work for us. It represents a solid foundation that we have built upon and includes a wide variety of ingredients which saves me from having to administer an overwhelming number of supplements individually.

My daughter age 7 diagnosed ADHD had been on the Straterra, Adderall xl all made her have rapid heart beat and irregular heart beats and moodiness. I tried the other 2 homeopathic products out there but nothing compares to how well this product has worked. My daughter has not had grade problems, but has been in trouble for talking and not listening from her 1st day of school. Now she does not get in trouble. Now, She is a loving sweet little girl and even wants to cuddle in the evening. Before she was very defiant and even worse on the prescription meds.
I just want to recommend to everyone to try this product if having ADHD problems. We have been using it for a month. I will continue to use this product and even want to try the Extress product for myself.
