[quote=Anonymous]People do different things - some have their kid take it 7 days a week, some on weekdays only, some only during the school year. We have our son take it 365 days a year, no misses unless we/he forgets or I accidently run out (and I have a back up stash so that is very rare). What I've found is this. One day off meds, he is impulsive, has trouble controlling himself, etc. Two days off, he is exponetially worse. It's not the same level of not being able to control himself and not even double - more like ten times harder. Then everyone gets upset at him and it's really not his fault (he is learning but he's a kid and it takes time to understand and learn to control and we now have puberty starting). Plus, it takes a day or two after he goes back on before he's back to his maximum success. In short, nothing good comes of skipping for my son. [/quote]
