I’ve been neglecting these updates because I’ve been writing more on my Blog, Focused Distractions (cute, huh?). So If you’d like to keep tabs on what I’m doing and want to read about the latest in the ADD “world”, please head over there, as I do update things more frequently. You can visit my Blog at www.addconsults.com/blog
Medication Update!
Shire is launching VYVANSE, the first Prodrug Stimulant. I’m excited about this one because it is supposed to be effective for up to 12 hours- a real boon for those who need full day/early evening coverage. This should be helpful for kids who need that extra coverage for getting homework done. It also has a low profile for abuse. You can read more about this new medication at www.vyvanse.com . Look for it this summer- ask your doc if it is right for your kiddo.
I've launched a new free ezine. Short, to the point (yay!) on ADD Organizing…and it’s a hit. Want to sign up? Click HERE. You can also receive my monthly ezine on updates in the ADD world, chock full of articles, tips and more, by subscribing to ADDitional News HERE.
Now...go browse my website. There's lots to see here!
