I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in 2nd grade and I am currently taking Ritalin. I will admit that medication helps me alot. When I dont take it I almost always end up suspended or in ALE (what my school calls in school suspension). But sometimes I go through these periods of time where I just dont want to take my medicine anymore. I think its stupid, it doesnt help me at all, and I just stop taking it. When I do this I end up in all kinds of trouble at school and my grades go from C's to F's. Then something happens and I realize that I really need it and I start taking it again. I say I will never do that again and I dont know why I even stopped taking it in the first place. I started to notice that when I forget to take my medicine before school and I get through the whole day without getting written up thats when I start thinking that I dont need it anymore. I think "I didnt take it today and I didnt get written up so I dont need it anymore" so I stop taking it, then the next day I get written up like 5 times. But I dont stop taking it for a couple of days it would be more like a couple of weeks. I usually dont start taking it again until something really dramatic happens. Then I take it again and dont understand why I ever stopped taking it in the first place.
Does this happen to anybody else? I NEED HELP!!!

Wow, hon this totally happened with me and my zoloft! ~Huggles~ I guess its normal for people to go through an anti-medication phase once or twice a month. I stopped taking my depression meds completely, actually because I didn't think I needed it. Its good that you can say to yourself "I don't need this." A lot of people can't say it even if its true for them. Im blabbering...hahah.

If you get into a slump, give me a buzz.

this same thing happens to me... sometimes i get so sick of taking my meds to... i guess mainly because of the poor appetite side effect, i start getting sick from not eating, but my grades and behavior are affected a lot from my meds too.
