[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 190907, member: 1991"] Stims can be just stopped, but do check with the doctor in case it's complicated in your son's case. But it mightn't be too much medications - it could be not enough. But - he's on lithium as well? Other things too? You would need to go carefully, there could be any one of a number of problems with medications. They used to say that kids with ADHD and on stims, would eventually grow out of the need for stims. We've found this to be a myth. However, as they've got older, easy child 2/difficult child and her cousin on stims have both been able to cut back, at least a little. The cousin only takes stims when she has an exam, but easy child 2/difficult child 2 needs her stims to be able to function, even if it IS only a low dose. The boys, on the other hand, have had to increase their stims to stop us wanting to kill them! Marg [/QUOTE]
