[quote=Anonymous]My 10yo knows meds are an option during the summer/weekends and sometimes asks to take them, but usually we opt for the additional calories he can consume if he doesn't take them. It's a trade off that currently works decently. If weight gain was not an urgent concern, he would probably opt to take them everyday. He doesn't seem to find it too disruptive. We do have to some extra patience and remember he needs some additional supports that he may not when taking meds. Do notice a bit of mood instability as he adjusts back to taking them the first few days after a long break (don't notice it from weekend breaks), but it seems to stabilize again pretty quickly after just a day or two.
