Meds for isolated occasion?
by Darkdoc, Jan 19, 2008 01:59PM
My teenage son has been diagnosed with mild ADHD symptoms that he has successfully managed without meds, which he doesn't like to take -- until the College Boards came along! He is doing fine in school itself but has lots of trouble maintaining concentration for long periods on an hours-long standardized test. He and we are wondering whether a prescription he has for Concerta can be used on a single day (test day) or must it be taken daily to build up an amount? It's hard to reach the doctor and he's taking a practice test soon!
