[quote=Anonymous]Are your teens on ADHD meds? Yes Have symptoms improved? Not particularly, and I can tell when she hasn't taken them Are they on a higher or lower dose than before? Higher dose, mostly because she hadn't been adjusted for years and was twice the weight as when it was initially dosed (not fat, just taller and older) What do you find meds help with? Impulsivity? Decision making? Ability to concentrate on class and homework. What about driving? When she first started driving she got a Ritalin booster for the evening that she could take if she was going to be driving at night. No longer takes that. We also had to switch from a manual to an automatic car because she needed to focus on the road, not the gears.[/quote]
