A member asked:
What to do to get my mom and my doctor to let me stop taking ritalin (methylphenidate) for my adhd now that i'm in high school?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stopping medications: Talk to your mom and doctor about a trial off medications. If you ask them to give you one month to show that you can do well without the medications, my guess is that they would be happy for you. However, if your grades slip or you start having a hard time, you may have to go back on the medications.
