My son has tourette syndrome and ADD. But ritalin is the opposite of what he needs. When he was young he used catapris, which suppresses the adrenaline, and that worked. But as he has gotten older the drop in blood pressure makes him feel too bad, so he is not using anything now. Is there anything that will cause a reduction in the norepinephrine and not effect him otherwise?
