Okay, I actually agree with some of these answers, but she has trouble concentrating and has failed some classes. We love it when they play and are creative and even hyper, we just want her to focus in school and retain what she learns. We have had tutors and tried everything we can...

If ADHD medicine doesn't work for a child, then that child doesn't truly have ADHD. It's as simple as that.
As for the best medicine, it's pretty trial and error from what I understand. What works for one kid might not work for another. If your daughter becomes diagnosed, her doctor will give you all the information you need to make an informed opinion. Most of us here on the Internet just have an opinion. :)

Each Medication works different for each ADHD child. The best option to go about finding the best medication for your child is to pinpoint his/her behavior. For example. My oldest son was on Adderall. I could tell that it wasn't helping him completely. I pinpointed it by it did help him calm down and not be hyperactive, but it didn't help him with staying focused and he was still fidgety. When I pinpointed what exactly the symptoms where, the doctor was able to figure out the correct medication to put him on and that was Concerta. Sometimes it takes a long time to find the right medication for you child so be patient and pinpoint the symptoms to help the doctor and your child to find the right medication for your child. Good Luck!

http://cchr.org/index.cfm/5329 read this before deciding to drug your child.
Studies have indicated that food additives in particular, especially some coloring and preservatives, can trigger off hyperactivity as well as other reactions; many of these additives have been steadily removed from foods as consumers have successfully protested at their use. If you child has a high proportion of foods containing coloring etc. then it may well be worth exploring a diet without such additives to see if this makes a difference. Changes in behavior may take 3-4 weeks to be noticeable, although strong reactions to additives can be eased within a day or so.

The best medicine is taking her out of that restrictive environment. Stop trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

See a good counselor. Stay away from medications as long as possible. There is no really good one.

Home-schooling.
Stop drugging your child to fit into a class full of robots, and pushed by teachers who want more robots.
Stop feeding hhim any sugar, and no dye-like food coloring. Feed him fruit and protein, and get him to run around and play outside.Every day-until he is sweaty.
No drugs needed.

a parent who retrains their child through repetitive behavior modification. Quit medicating and get involved.
