Some children with ADHD have a few persistent ADHD symptoms that are hard to get rid of and continue to cause them difficulties and problems, in which case they need to be treated with medication until adulthood to help them manage their symptoms. For other children with ADHD, as they grow older, they may become more “mature” to the point that their ADHD symptoms diminish or even disappear, or they may gradually acquire strategies and methods to cope with their ADHD symptoms. Typically, one of the easiest ADHD symptoms to alleviate as they get older is hyperactivity. Your child is seeing the light of day to lower the dose of ADHD treatment or even stop taking medication when: 1. With the help of medication, the child has essentially stopped experiencing ADHD symptoms for at least 1 year. 2.The child continues to show continuous improvement without increasing the dose of medication. 3, Despite missing so many doses of medication, the child’s behavioral performance remained good at the time of the missed dose. 4. The child has developed new strategic approaches to focus on tasks. When you have thoughts about stopping the medication, you should discuss and communicate with your child, other parents, and even the teacher, and eventually the doctor. This is because once the medication is stopped, it becomes even more important for the child to be surrounded by adults who manage his or her behavior appropriately. Also, after stopping medication, it is still important to take your child for regular follow-up visits to see if any ADHD symptoms remain.
