I just wanted to make sure and verify, it is probably perfectly ok to pack my child's ADHD medication into the parks with us. I would think this would be ok but since it's a controlled substance, figured i'd ask here. I prefer to give him the medication after he eats breakfast at some of our reservations (since he won't each much during the day after he takes it), so that is why I wouldn't just give it to him at the resort. My son has autism/ADHD, and takes a stimulant to stay focused. We give him a liquid medication (I usually draw it up in a syringe). I debate on whether or not to give it to him when he's not in school and on vacation, but the past few weekends we've not given it to him on weekends, and brought him to birthday parties, he was pretty hard to manage. I used to feel like the medication made him somewhat of a zombie, but I think now, maybe he's on the right dose, and is better. I just feel like when he takes the medicine, he doesn't smile quite as much.
