Question
My child has had ADHD for three years, doesn’t like to play, and is very naughty and disruptive. There are too many issues. What should I do? The previous treatment situation and effectiveness: Not very ideal!? Hello, what treatment should I use to be effective?
Answer
Hi friend with ADHD, don’t worry. To prevent the development of drug tolerance, you can take a break from medication on Sundays, holidays, and during non-practice times. You can also discontinue medication during school holidays, but if you have practice or homework on holidays, you can take Ritalin half an hour before practice. The effect of a single dose of Ritalin lasts only 4-6 hours, so it is necessary to persist with long-term medication to achieve effectiveness. Discontinuing medication arbitrarily will cause symptoms to reappear. Depending on individual circumstances, medication can be taken for 1-5 years, but as age increases and the situation improves, the dosage can be gradually increased until discontinuation.
