[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me the real question is how long do I want my son's medication to be effective. That's how I gauge when to give them. Even with extended release, I don't give them before 7 am (he gets up at 5:30) because they would wear off before the end of the school day. And, as a PP pointed out, they are not immediately effective, so you have a time gap between giving them and them starting to work. [/quote] I agree - which is why we do a booster at school. We give DS his meds in bed, with a couple of graham crackers, and then let him sleep another 20 minutes or so. Makes a huge difference.[/quote]
