When can I stop the medication?

  It is important to emphasize that whether you suspend the medication, try to stop it for a long time, or stop it completely, when you have these thoughts, you should discuss and communicate with your child, other parents, and teachers, and eventually discuss the decision with your doctor. And, after stopping the medication, you still need to take your child for regular follow-up follow-ups to see if there are still ADHD symptoms remaining. Yang Liangzheng of the Children’s Health Care Center of Jinan Children’s Hospital may try to stop medication temporarily (on weekends or holidays) if: the child has significant, intolerable, and unimprovable side effects; the child has been taking medication for 1-2 years, has established good behavior, and has a level of attention that meets the needs of daily life when not in class; it may be possible to try to stop when Medication has been maintained for a long period of time (at least 1-2 years), the child’s ADHD symptoms have largely disappeared, the child’s behavior remains good despite missing so many doses, and the child has developed new strategies for focusing on tasks.
