[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some kids who are able to swap out significant athletic training with Meds. Doing ice hockey or swimming in the morning before school. Can you try a few weeks of going to the gym before school and see if it works? [/quote] Yes, DC already does one of those sports in the morning before school. Maybe we should start [b]trying a day here or there without meds[/b] when there are no tests and see what happens. [/quote] If you have not done any med breaks in the past, then be aware that it's quite possible that the first day or two without meds may be wild. He will be even less focused and/or more hyperactive than baseline as his body readjusts. It actually takes days-to-weeks for the brain receptors to return to baseline so a week or more med break might be more useful than just skipping a day here or there. [/quote]
