Ritalin is *still* a drug.  I *had* been on it.... for about one month.
The personality-change side effect kicked in, and Mom didn't like *that*
at ALL.  So....she took me off & let me run @ warp 7 (or so  .

I'm trying ginseng via Celestial Seasonings' "Emperor's Choice" tea.
I think it's helped me a great deal.  I'm much calmer and clear-headed
since starting to drink it......

...but I wouldn't recommend it unless your daughter WANTS to get off
the drugs.  After all, us ADHD'ers are different  --even among ourselves.
