How Can ADHD In A Child Be Treated?

My child has adhd and is on the addrell XR and has been for about month and half with an increase about 2 weeks ago. He is still having a hard time with focus and keeps shuting down with one of his teachers. He says he feels sad, and under pressure all the time and is having headaches.

Hello,
I would suggest for a review of diagnosis in such a case. The behavior symptoms in children are so overlapping. He might be suffering from depression as he reports sad mood and headache. Bupropion can help in such a case as it help in depression as well as ADHD.(prescription drug)..
Please talk to your doctor about this.
Thanks
