Dr. Levinson really helped my child and my whole family greatly. He was the only person I truly trusted when we went through the whole process the summer before my son went into 2nd grade. He totally agreed with me that my son should INDEED be promoted. The public school shrink I trusted the absolute least. In fact one day she wanted me to sign a release so she could talk to Levinson. I refused and said I would be the middleman between them.

Dr. Levinson was also the only person who told me that I should have a tutor for my son to help him one on one at home. We did that and it truly helped. Anyone who simply puts there kid on RITALIN without doing their homework is a jerk. I'm sorry but that is how I feel after going through this.

AND NEVER USE THE SCHOOL RECOMMENDED DOCTORS, I think they have a racket going on. I happened across Levinson online years ago doing research. While we did use some ritalin and aderall for a while, we also used the meclazine, ginko and lecithan. (excuse my spellings) In addition we used a drug called clonidine to treat my sons inablity to sleep while on the aderall.

He is also very good with the kids and you can see the respect that the children have for him. Some days while waiting in his office people would have suitcases with them, they were coming from all over to see him.

He also uses motion sickness medications. I do believe there is ADD ADHD and most likely he is the most knowledgeable researcher in the nation. But modern medicine is just now through Vestibular Science Research beginning to realize what he already knew years ago.

BTW from what I have read and the medications involved the kid in this article sounds to me from what I have seen with my own eyes in someone else like Serotonin Syndrome. I wonder if they even bothered to check?

Amen! My parents spent a good two years doing research and consulting with various doctors before putting me on Ritalin, and then continued to monitor me closely. They would have taken me off the second I indicated the drug was causing more problems...just lucky for me it helped, during the time I took it. Of course, back then, only a good 1% of the number of kids who take it today took it back then....
