ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder

My daughters is 10 years old, repeating the fourth grade and has been on Ritalin for 2 1/2 years. In September, she started taking Prozac also. All she is taking now is BeCalm'd and it is a miracle.

Two and 1/2 years ago she was diagnosed with ADD. She was struggling in school, had a very bad attitude and every night it took 3 hours to get 30 minutes worth of homework done. It was war every night.

Last year was a little different, it was worse. Her teacher was calling me on a weekly basis, telling me about her smart mouth, hitting other students and being very difficult to teach. She spent a lot of time in the hall doing time outs. She ended up repeating the fourth grade.

This year, even worse. After the first 6 weeks of school the Assistant Principal suggested I take her to a Psychiatrist, because she was visiting the office at least 2 times a week, which I did. The next 6 weeks of school, I was getting two or three phone calls from the Assistant Principal a week. She had detention at least once every other week. She had 1/2 day suspension, 5 times. She had 1 full day suspension. I was going mentally insane myself, trying to fix the problem.

The middle of November, I came across the BeCalm'd advertisement. Trust me, I had done everything I could possibly do. I was up for any suggestions. Prozac nor Ritalin were working. She has been on BeCalm'd for 4 weeks, and no more suspensions, no more detentions, and only 1 call from the Assistant Principal to tell me that Heather was doing very good. No more fighting about homework, No more arguing with the teacher. It is a miracle in this house. We almost ran out of the capsules last week and she started to panic, because even she has noticed a big change. We will not leave home without them.
