Question:
Is it safe for a teenager stop taking Ritalin over the weekend?
Answers:
Yes, and in school breaks, provided they can cope reasonably well without it. There is a growing movement which considers that Ritalin is vastly over prescribed by doctors, who often believe the hype generated by the psycho pharmaceutical manufacturers, and their salespeople, soley for the purpose of increasing their sales. This also applies to other amphetamine related products. Alternatives are available. See ADD/ADHD at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris... on page 7, and read pages 1 and 2 for background.
