[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 85045, member: 2423"] In terms of using Concerta or other stimualants on school days only, I would say only that it depends what you are using the medications for. For my son, who has inattentive ADHD, he is fine using stimulants on school days only because he needs them to focus on schoolwork. He doesn't need or even want stimulants on non-school days (and he is old enough to have a say in medication decisions). And our psychiatrist said it is perfectly acceptable to use stimulants in this manner. In fact, there are some studies that say you prolong the effectiveness of the stimulant dose by periodically taking a break from them. [/QUOTE]
