(He has a LOT of other issues interplaying with his ADHD, so it's hard to pin down what's causing what.) Specifically, his teachers noticed a dramatic change in his behavior for the past few weeks (starting in mid-April). This is about the time the weather here started warming up (finally:). He also started on a track team at about that time. I was wondering if his metabolism may have changed with the weather and extra activity, so his medication may be washing out of his system quicker. Anyone out there have experience and/or an opinion on this? My son takes Concerta for his ADHD, and seems to go in cycles as to how much it helps him.
