Forgive me for being naive (we're not on any meds yet for ADD) but what's the reasoning for taking your son off meds during weekends or school breaks?

My mom worked at a grammar school for 30 years and saw children who went off their meds for the weekend. SHe said the kids were horrible until the ritalin kicked in half-way through Monday. Wouldn't it be easier to keep the child on an even keel instead of messing up his chemistry?

Please don't take this the wrong way. Big Hugs to you!
