My daughter too has ADHD and now we realize was having seizure activity in
school last year which is why she was having such trouble. Different meds will
cause bad emotional reactions but not all do and it depends on the person. I'd
talk to your doctor. We are always advised to watch for signs of emotional
change when trying a new med. That's a sure sign the med is not the right fit
for your child.

Careful with the Ketogenic diet and children is my advice. Their bodies need
good nutrition for growth.
