My son takes Adderall XR everyday and when he misses a dose I sure can tell it, he gets into troublem and he just out of control, at one time he took his meds only when he was in school and it drove us crazy. I don't agree with the only in school thing. He is a good kid just cant think before he acts with out his meds.
from experince meds daily to stay level is the best.

I don't really know forsure,but this is a 'heads-up' to any parent who has a teen on any kind of add med.My 17 year old talks about all the adderall,dexies,and ritalin at her high school, that the kids with the script comes to school and sells them like candy.They are EVERYWHERE!!!!

There is a big difference between Adderall XR and Ritalin or Adderall and Dext's. The Adderall XR is time-released so most kids don't care much for them, unless they choose to open the capsules, crush the little round balls of medicine and snort them. The ritalin and Dexi's are a different story...unfortunately, they are not time release, the medication is in the system right away. Those pills do sell in the schools and colleges for children to get lots of energy off of. It's a shame. It is safer to have your child take the Adderall XR or Concerta or Focalyn XR. My daughter takes Adderall Xr and I do keep her on the medication everyday, especially if she needs to concentrate on anything such as cleaning her room, or going to church (weekend activities.) There's no right answer here. The medication does not build up in their system therefore, it is not necessary to take it everyday; however, my child is a mess with out it daily!

I don't know if you have ever taken the adderall or dexi's,but I have,lots,and sorry to be able to say but I would'of preferred the XR's and thats what is going around here.And there is a time released dexi,just open them and chew them up!I have found that it isn't just kids who want to concentrate,it is kids and adults that you wouldn't suspect.Mark my words,this will be the 'new meth' and it will be really hard for people to get them that really do need them for add and adhd!

My grandson was really destructive and out of control. I was giving him it at school only but started giving it to him this past weekend... first time he has set through church without climbing under the pew, kicking the pew, or acting up and he is on a very low dose of time release.. so I will be keeping him on it 7 days a week
