Our Experience with N-Met

As of recently, Gavin had been coming home saying that he kept losing recess. Now, this was partly due to him having a teacher that we are not very fond of, and whom I believe treats the children like they are older and more mature than they actually are. The other reason, is Gavin has ADHD and has always had difficulty staying focused and on task. This often results in "misbehavior" in the classroom because....let's be honest. He would much rather focus on the shiny dancing light on the ceiling caused by Little Johnny's watch reflecting the sun from across the room. Things like this lead to him either (a) not finishing his classwork or (b) missing a verbal direction given by his teacher, and inadvertently doing something wrong.

I was skeptical, but with Gavin having a hard time focusing in school and his Tourette 'tics' were getting a bit more intense, I started doing some research. I found N-Met online, and decided it was at least worth a shot to try. I mean the worst that could happen would have been we saw no improvement. We don't believe it is acceptable or necessary to medicate Gavin AT ALL at this time. He has some minor issues, but in the grand scheme of things.... I don't believe that an 8 year old needs to be hopped up on meds, and since he is "manageable" (a term Doctor's use, not us!), we really feel that it will be a decision for him to make for himself someday if things progress any differently than they have thus far.

 So, when I stumbled upon this during my research::::

 I Had to at least try it. So, 4 weeks ago, I ordered a product called "N-Met". It's a liquid vitamin, which the website claims will  aide in Sleep Disturbance, Focus & Low Energy, Angry Outbursts, Flapping & Uncontrolled Movements, Speech, and Fear & Confusion.

The first week, we saw very little to no difference. The second week, Gavin came home EVERY day BEAMING from how well he had done. Now...Again, I was skeptical. We had told him what he was taking (Vitamins) and why he was taking it (Primarily to help his focus at school). We were willing to admit that it was having a placebo effect, but honestly could've cared less as long as HE thought it was working! But....then we started to also notice that his tics were diminishing. He used to "Tic" while he was watching TV, brushing his teeth, getting excited, if he were being reprimanded, if he was anxious....he tic-ed CONSTANTLY.

But around day 10, Sean and I started to notice that he was just....still. No sudden movements. No head jerking, no finger tapping, no grunting slightly in his throat. This.....was MAGICAL. It was such a relief to watch him RELAX. To see him truly at ease. I don't know how long this will last, but for right now, we are singing the praises of N-Met in our house 100%!!!!
