[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my son was on ADHD meds, he specifically said he couldn’t take them on days he needed to perform with his sport. He said it was too dangerous. His description was that he needed everyone one of his senses to be on so he could see things coming at him from every which way at once and react. He said his meds made him focus but hyper focus in a way that dulled his senses and that wouldn’t work for his sport. He was a teen when he was able to articulate this. I don’t have ADHD but that made sense to me. [/quote] DH recently stopped taking his ADHD meds during his sport and it’s made a huge difference for the better. He was also too focused on one thing and it was hurting his overall performance. If they have a classroom session then he will take it. [/quote] What sport [/quote] Exactly. Huge help for golf. Lacrosse or soccer, notsomuch. [/quote]
