Discuss Tapering ADHD Medication Before or Around Age 25

People who have been on ADHD meds at any point prior to age 25 should talk to their psychiatrist about tapering off to assess whether they still need them; do not stop abruptly, because abrupt cessation can cause withdrawal-like effects including lethargy, depressed mood, feeling unwell, and focus problems.

It seems entirely reasonable, in fact, it was supported by the psychiatrist that I spoke to prior to this episode, that people who have been on ADHD meds for any point of time prior to 25 talk to their psychiatrist about what tapering off those drugs in order to examine whether or not they still need those drugs would look like.
