[quote=Anonymous]My 17-year-old has been on meds for inattentive ADHD since he was 7. He started with Adderall (lost too much weight), switched to Ritalin, then Focalin, then back to Ritalin, with a few breaks during the school year (when he resisted taking them) and a long break every summer. At this point his usual dose is actually lower than it was a few years ago, although he takes more on days with major exams. I expect that he will continue with Ritalin as long as he is in school (if he hasn't outgrown it by 17, he likely won't), but that he'll manage to find a career that interests him enough that he only needs it occasionally.[/quote]
