[quote=Anonymous]My son started taking stimulants at 10, so in terms of brain development, quite a bit older. He desperately needs to grow, so we have med holidays whenever he doesn't need to go to school or do a big school project. I've noticed that he can get a little excited and silly the first day he's off the stimulants, but that he's back to his normal, non-med, seriously spaced-out self the next day. Nothing major at all. I would consult his psychiatrist to discuss whether your son is on the right dosage, and if so, whether you should consider trying a different stimulant. Also, remember that it's Christmas, and that nearly all elementary-school kids are super excited and moody at this time of year :-) [/quote]
