Patient's question:
The child has had ADHD for three years. They dislike playing and are very troublesome and mischievous. There are too many issues. What should be done? About the past treatment and its effectiveness: not very ideal! ? Hello, how should the treatment be effective!Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, don't worry. In this case, to prevent the development of drug resistance, you can skip medication on Sundays, holidays, and when you're not practicing. During winter and summer vacations, you can also stop taking the medication. However, if you have to practice or do homework on holidays, you can take Adderall half an hour before practicing. The effect of Adderall from a single dose only lasts for 4-6 hours. Therefore, it is necessary to take the medication consistently for it to be effective. Stopping the medication arbitrarily will lead to the symptoms reappearing. Depending on individual circumstances, the medication can be taken for 1-5 years. However, as you age, the condition may improve, and the dosage can be gradually increased until the medication can be stopped.
