[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 19154, member: 1498"] Why not ask the psychologist? Ritalin is a short term medication and, depending on what you mean by "not give him his medications", you could either mean not giving the first dose of the day or not giving a second or third dose. Because of stimulant rebound, depending on when you aren't giving the medication, you could be showing the psychologist what he's like without the medication or what he's like in stimulant rebound (which is essentially daily amphetamine withdrawal). ETA: You posted the same time I did. Eliminating a midday dose would put him in rebound and would not present a picture of what he's really like. Rebound is as much a drug induced state as the calm he gets when he first takes it. [/QUOTE]
