[QUOTE="shelleyils, post: 626129, member: 16186"] Haven't posted here in a while. Last time I asked about adderall. It's not that he is on, it's the pill form of procentra. It's called dextro something. Since we've started crushing up the abilify instead of the liquid, he seems to tolerate it much better. He is doing much better in school. Is it safe to give him a break from the adhd medication on weekends and holidays? The teacher said it really helps him focus. I've given it to him at home and I can't tell a difference with or without it. He takes such a small dose. He takes 2.5 mg in the am and 2.5 mg after lunch. I forgot to bring this up at his last psychiatric appointment. Since school is almost over, is this something I have to give during the summer. He is going to a different school next year, so we will see how he does without it. Another thing that really seems to help him now is giving him melatonin at night. He take 3mg and he is not so sleep at school anymore. [/QUOTE]
