[quote=Anonymous]OP, your DS needs to demonstrate a different set of behaviors at home than at school. He might not need meds when he's at home because there he just needs to be himself. But when he has tasks he has to fulfill that require his attention or at least some type of physical self-control, that's when the meds really are needed. If you truly want to experiment with this, wait until this summer. Talk to his doctor about how to wean him off the meds. Put him in an environment that's similar to the classroom. See how he does. The doctor may have reasons for not doing this, though; messing with meds really isn't the best idea since those take a good while to kick in, so if you stop them, it's hard to get him back stable again. Letting him go off his meds now, with his chattiness and touching habits, might well just create so many problems in the classroom that will be hard to undo. [/quote]
