Belladonna-30 is your medicine. Take one dose and report the effect.

kuldeep,
i looked at the symptomology for belladonna, i don't see the match, can you explain how you came about it out of curiousity. I've placed an order before the weekend for sulfur and lycopodium clavatum. Both of those had some pretty good matches according to the abchomeopathy database for some of my more major symptoms, wasn't sure what dosage so i ordered 6c. I am curious what resources your using for your reasearch and the points you used to pick belladonna.

I suggested you belladonna from my gut feeling and experience.
Just one dose may change the scene in three hours.
Neither Sulphur nor Lycopodium will work.

Kuldeep,
after doing some further investigation of some homeopathic treatments for ADD specifically, I found belladonna mentioned along with plenty of others, including sulphur and lycopodium. I still have to admit, I don't see your connection between my symptoms and belladonna. Was there any key symptoms that I listed that made you think of belladonna. Many of the pages I visited which discussed ADD treatment with homeopathics listed LYC as one of the potential remedies, however one page in particular which listed remedies made a very high match with the sulphur in my mind. While the belladonna did list a few of the symptoms I display, it seems to me that sulphur is a higher match. sulpur and lyc showed the same percentage match at the Remedy Finder here at abchomeopathy, and the page listing common homepathic remedies for ADD makes a good arguement for sulphur. arts.org/children/ADHD/homeopathy.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://healing-arts.org/children/ADHD/homeopathy.htm
Take a look and let me know what you think about the validity of their findings if you will. I'm not arguing that anyone is wrong, I'm just anxious to see if I can overcome my problem, and so I would like to make an informed decision in an "art" that I'm new to. I would rather have a homeopath I could meet and put my confidence in, but I can't afford one, espicially after loosing my job. As a consequence I do appreciate the help you and everyone has offered. I will try the sulphur when it arrives, and maybe next order I will give belladonna a shot (I've already placed an order, and would rather justify another one to my fiance if what I ordered doesn't work =0)). Also I guess I should have asked, but is the product quality from abchomepathy pretty good?? Do you order from here or other suppliers? Do most prefer to order the tablets premade, or make their own from blank tablets and mix from mother tinctures? just another curiousity?? Thanx

Have to say that Bell is a very short acting remedy [ one to seven days max]
Also that Sulphur is one of the broadest acting Polycrests there is [Silica is another ]
Interesting to see how it falls out - keep posting.

Habits (Nail biting, hair pulling ...) plus ADHD.
Belladonna.. Bingo.
Few weekly doses are needed and eventually patient will forget all about ADHD as well as Belladonna and laugh about his habits.

let me know how you get on with the sulphur??!! Was it 6c you said you ordered?
Also still think the omega 3 fish oils would be very helpful - I appreciate this may seem expensive but they are well worth a try!!!

already on omega-3 omega-6 and what ever else supplement from local GNC. Essential Fatty Acid supplement. not notice anything ground changing. and yeah I ordered both lyc and sulphur, since both have their points. ordered 6c because I wasn't sure of potency needed. If I notice anything I may order higher dosages. I kinda feel that I may need a higher dose than 6c, so would I need to take maybe multple 6c doses per day? any suggestions on dosage for any remedy I may get. considering this is a chronic thing.
ccg711 last decade
try 3 x daily to begin - 1 am, 1 around noon,1 evening - with a 6c it may be a while before you notice any changes - or it may not have any effect. a higher potency would probably be better, but see how it goes as although lower potencies seem to address physical issues better they can also go to other levels.
are the omega oils you take higher in EPA than DHA - this seems to be the key issue in whether they help or not? The fish oils are the ones higher in the EPA.

I'll have to look at the bottle for the omega oils. i know that they don't come from fish. one is a microlage oil, flax oil, and a third I can't remember, 1000mg recommended dose. i know that it does have dha specifically, i'd look, but have a kid in my lap right now. one question about the homepathics....does taking multiple tablets at lower potency have the same effect as taking regular larger potencies. for instance, just to see if i notice an effect should i up the dose, then if i notice improvement reorder as neccessary the larger dose?
ccg711 last decade
homeopathic dosage does not quite work like that - waht happens in theory is that the lower potencies reach a different energy level than higher potencies and the effect this has depends on each individual....all remedies affect your vital force to promote your body to heal itself - the remedy is a kind of catalyst for your healing.
for example a lower potency, 6c, is generally understood to help heal on a more physical level but in some individuals it can also 'reach' and 'help' on the emotional/mental level. So, higher potencies are understood generally to be more beneficial when treating the emotional/mental 'level' - this would mean that a potency of choice for ADD would probably be 30c repeated, or even better 200c taken less often, or 1M, 10M given even less often.
However, taking extra doses of any of these potencies, lower or higher, does not have the same effect as taking a higher potency.
If you take the remedy and it has had no effect after a couple of weeks it would be worth trying a higher potency (taken not so frequently) if the remedy symptoms are a very close match to yours - this close match is important for higher potencies.
If you have had a good effect from the low potency you can continue (reducing dosage when improvement there). If you have the effect of the remedy not suiting you at all (with sulphur for example this may mean you would get skin irritation you have never had before in your life!) then you should stop taking remedy and change to another. If you take the remedy and you get symptoms you have had before in the past (for eg, a skin rash you have experienced before in your life!) then the remedy may be helping your body clear out old complaints and you can continue taking it once the symptoms have settled down.
Hope this makes sense? :)

hi again - re the omega oils, in the research it is definitely recommended to take fish oils with the higher EPA than DHA. The other oils, flaxseed etc have not shown the same beneficial effect. Somehow the fish oils help the messages get acrross the neurotransmitters properly?? something like that.......there was a study done in UK on schoolchildren that you can probably find if you look in the TV websites (can't remember whether it was channel 4, bbc or itv). This research quotes the dosage of the "IQ" fish oil supplement used.

Wow,I have severe ADD(I was barely diagnosed 3 years ago)and started taking Concerta 54 mgs. It helps alot-but I still have symptoms-even though it's not severe. Can I take the Belladonna with my current medication? I also have Lichen Sclerosis and I/'ve been keeping that under control with Beta Glucan. I read in that one man's book,"What Doctor's don't want you to know" I think that's what it's called or "Cures that doctor's don't want you to know" is that many illness like LS,ADD/ADHD,obesity,thyroid,arthiris,and others are caused by having too much yeast in our bodies and that we need to detox our bodies. Anyway-I wonder if this is true,does Belladonna help keep Candida(yeast) under control?

Hi ccg711,
I am also patient of ADD and i really understand what you are saying. I am 32 and i never figured out what was wrong with my life until recently when i came across a book on ADD. I am really surprised to see your symptoms which almost exactly match with mine. Apart from general ADD symptoms i am very unsocial, really enjoy sever weather (lightning, thunder storms). I also have a very sound sleep which i got from my father(got ADD from mom). I think strong sleep has nothing to do with ADD. One particular symptom which is increasing as Im getting older is this intense feeling of not up to the mark. I am a telecom engineer and although I am able to maintain my job and not yet gone through any firing but I can feel and see that I am not performing well. I went through a Myers-Briggs course and I came out as an introvert type with high marks. I am wondering if it is because of ADD.
For last 3-4 months i have been taking fish oil and multivitamins so far i havent noticed any change. I havent tried any stimulant drugs since i believe in homeopathy and wanted to try it first. Also stimulant drugs are not a permanent solution and they have side effects. I strongly believe that that cure is in homeopathy but getting to the right medicine is really hard. One reason for this might be that there is not enough technological advancement available to homeopathy like it is for traditional medicine. Homeopathy is relatively new and not time tested as compare to allopathic. But i believe in near future Homeopathy will emerge as a strong treatment.
I agree with you on your finding of right medicine. So far i also see Sulphur as a main candidate for ADD treatment. But you never know which medicine suites you.
I will appreciate if you keep posting us about your experiences. I am sure there are people out there like me who can get benefit from this posting. So keep posting. I also appreciate the homeopaths who are taking interest in helping us.

hi ccg,
i read your post and found all infos describing me..:) I have not read all, as it was so extensive, just the first three or four descriptions.
My current assumption abou tmy situation is, I am overtoxicated. or was..:) Which is all linked to liver, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen. And here Erika suggestion ties in, your lack of omega 3 might not be caused by bad food, but buthe simple fact of lack of absorbtion of omega 3 (and many other minerals, vitamins etc)
Also, how high is your urin ph?or blood ph?
what I did, a liverflush accodring to Anreas Moritz (and google around there is another lady who made it more previse, including parasite flush, i think the later is better.
my own interpretation: some people are sensitive (good book, the highlysensitive people HSP by Aroon) and they have problems with the chemicals in our food. My situation got worst and out of control after a vaccination programme. Some kids can develop liver 'stones' (not stones, but fatty deposits blocking bile flow and with this digestion).
Have you looked into toxification of your body?
I also took a great remedy Aurum met D20 and Ferrum (not sure which, I can look it up if you want to know) D10, combined from Weleda. this really got me UP, literally. this antroposphical view - which goes the other way around, it prescribes remedies linked to particular organs. e.g. Ferrum, strengthens your will, you can eventry a lower potency of D8 or D6, 3x times daily. I am not a doctor. I just tell you I had almost 99% same situation and this helped. I also took Amara from Weleda to activate digestive system and a warm water bottle on the liver area with a yarrow tea application (towel soacked in yarrow tea)...
hope some can help you.. you need to sort this not only for you, you have a child now... they get very active, trust me..difficult to keep up with..:)))
