My DD had a temptaure this morning and her noise was bleeding,
So we stayed home and she didn’t take her concerta.

By 1pm she was off the walls pretty much , we medicated everyday but we didn’t today cause she was sick. Do you medicated even when they are sick?

Yes. Unless vomiting when there would be no point.

We do not medicate when sick. But, we also don’t medicate on non-school days so maybe it’s not an apples to apples comparison to your situation.

No, my son is in the 2nd percentile for height now he's on ADHD stimulants and goes med-free whenever he can. Any behavior is tolerable, provided he doesn't kill himself, basically.

No, only school days. One child is inattentive, not hyperactive so really it is only about school. The other child is impulsive and hyperactive and loud but ... not in a bad way. We have all gotten used to it.
