[quote=Anonymous]DS was late to take stimulants - Vyvanse at age 16. We are a bit more than a year in and he only takes them on school days, not on holidays or weekends. We've noticed no real difference. His inattentiveness increased in jr high and we wish we'd know he was ADHD combo then as he could have used meds at that point. He also has an extremely high verbal IQ and was in AAP all the way through jr high. As far as when he's on med breaks, he's grumpy the first day off and then fine but does show some impulsiveness. However being on meds has helped with that and now he seems to self regulate better when he's off them for longer than the weekends - like during summer and school breaks.[/quote]
