Just passing thru and saw your post.
I don't have any words of advice, but I have 2 children (bio) with ADD and ADHD. We do meds 24/7. Taking them off on the weekends made them more emotional and the behavior spun off the chart. It was worse than before they started taking meds! The Dr. explained to me that it does take days (sometimes weeks) for their bodies to adjust to being off the meds. So, taking them off for 2 days and then putting them on is like have them giving them an extra "fall" on the emotional roller coaster. It just isn't necessary.
After being on meds 24/7 for a month, my 11 yr old son expressed that he felt so much calmer....all the time and did not have all the guilt of the bad weekend behavior.
You might want to try it.
Good luck!
