[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 46936, member: 1514"] My purely ADHD son went summers off his ritalin for the most part. He didnt need to control his attention and hyperactivity in the summers because we live in the country and he wasnt doing anything that needed close attention. He could run to his hearts content, fishing and climbing trees kept him busy. Now if we had something really important that he had to do or a baseball game he took a pill. Back then it was all short acting ritalin. No biggie. He was never on an anti depressant. Ritalin does not build up in the blood stream or cause withdrawals if used appropriately. The AD's do and must be weaned. I would suggest keeping her on the AD. [/QUOTE]
