taking evekeo 10 mgs twice a day.  what's the best way to gradually decrease to come off entirely?

Accepted Answer

Stopping a med: Discuss wanting to stop Evekeo with prescribing doctor to make sure this is the best time to stop med and what you may expect re any returning symptoms. Assume you take this for ADD; but don't know for sure. Tapering must be individualized depending on how long you've taken this med, what other meds you may take, your sensitivity to meds, etc. and needs close medical supervision. Hope this helps.

Accepted Answer

Depends: I assume you are diagnosed with ADHD, and your need for medication depends on what you are doing (school, work, child care) and when you need to be at your best. For most patients you have to be most focused from 9 to 5, taking your first dose at 8AM and wnd dose at 1 or 2 PM would be what I would recommend. There are also sustained release versions you can take once a day. Talk to doc/pharmacist.
