What should you try if your 8-year-old son was diagnosed with ADD and you started him on 5mg of Ritalin but it did nothing?

I would first look into other possible solutions. My son (now 7 1/2) was diagnosed with ADHD a little over a year ago, after a few bad years of Preschool and Kindergarten. Not wanting to medicate him, I began researching alternative methods of treatment and have found that diet is a huge factor, as are supplements. He is still not perfect but has not been sent home or to the principal's office this year! (Yeah!) Start with removing all artificial colors, flavors and preservatives from his diet. From there you can look into possible food Allergies. (Our son is allergic to dairy, wheat, soy, egg and a few other things - I never knew.) You can add magnesium, fish liver oil, and B6 and these should also help. Good luck, it is along haul and people will think you are crazy, but in our opinion it is worth trying these things first.

Can a child on Ritalin have constricted pupils?
I am an adult and I started to take Ritalin 4 days ago. Usually I have dilated pupil, but with Ritalin they are quite constricted. I looked around in my text books and it is supposed to be the opposite to pupil are supposed to be more dilated. I also took effexor last month and my pupils were extra dilated (almost completely black). Yep I am not a professional, but it is very strange. Nevertheless even if with Ritalin my pupils are constricted my eye are very sensitive to light. My own theory will be that in some person Ritalin will increase the eye sensibility to light and than limit the amount by closing the pupil. Makes sense for me but I will still look around.
