[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stimulants have a rebound/withdrawal effect when you stop taking them where behavior can get worse than it was pre-medication, and it can take at least a week to get through it and back to baseline. You’re not seeing what his baseline really is because you’re not giving his body enough time to adjust.[/quote] This. OP, please check back in with us in a couple days and tell us how it is going. My child was like this the first couple days off the medication and then returned to his old self after close to a week. We cannot do single days or weekends off medication because of this. I think it depends on the medication and child, but there can definitely be a withdrawal when you are going off the medication. [/quote]
