here in britain they don't agree to giving meds after you finish your education , which is either 16yrs end of school or 18yrs end of collage, so to make sure son will cope without his meds at the age of 16 he has to leave his meds of for the six week summer break,
the reason not to have meds at weekends is to give the system a break from the drug son takes concerta 5 days a week it works within a half hour of taking it, slows down his appetite and all,
he has ritilin i can give him at weekends but were advised to try to limit this to little as possible to get him ready for the six week holidays,
if son cant manage without meds in extreme cases they will look at giving something else but wont know until his next apointment, the ritlin med is normally used to aid concentration while in group situations, so works better on school days, hope i have explained this ok
