[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 474611"] I'm not sure about why Saturday but there are several things that could be making it worse than other days. Does he get up at the same time as he does on school days? Does he take his medications at exactly the same times on Saturdays? The change in routine and expectations (or possibly a lack of any) from weekday to weekend could be enough for some. Is he as physically active on Saturdays as he is on school days? If not, he might not be metabolizing the medication the same since physical exercise has a tendency to speed up metabolism. There are all kinds of possible explanations. The "XR" in Adderall XR stands for "extended release" meaning it is release in the body over a longer period of time. Ask the doctor "then why is one extended release and the other one isn't if there is NO difference?" He will probably try to confuse you with some story to try to sway your decision the way he wants it. Maybe your son needs the faster in-faster out version. His body might not be metabolizing the XR as well. difficult child stands for Gift From God. It's kind of tough in cheek for the "gift" we have been given. [/QUOTE]
