I think my son may have

and am wondering if anyone of y'all have ever heard of or used Attentive Child? It's a homeopathic medication. I don't want to go the Ritalin or Adderall route, if in fact he does have ADD, which hasn't been determined as of yet. He's just very, very hard to keep on task, and talks a mile a minute, literally! I'm looking for something to try instead of taking him and having him evaluated, any suggestions or thoughts?
