ADHD doesn't just affect your child at school. The condition can affect your child's social interactions outside the classroom as well. The symptoms of ADHD don't take a holiday break. So, if your child has ADHD symptoms, medication may be a necessary part of their everyday routine.
If you're considering a break from CONCERTA® during weekends, holidays, or summer vacation, you should first consult with your child's healthcare professional before making any decision about treatment changes.
A guideline for ADHD treatment recommends that treatment should be continued as long as ADHD symptoms remain present and cause impairment. Stimulant medications, like CONCERTA®, only work as long as they are taken, so stopping treatment can result in the rapid return of symptoms.
Managing your child's ADHD symptoms can improve his or her ability to focus and get along with others, even during breaks from school. Continued treatment with CONCERTA® may help your child have a better time managing his or her ADHD symptoms during weekend or summer activities like long car trips, organized sports, or summer camp.
