Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In ADHD, retalin is treatment of choice. Normally, in ADHD, symptoms decrease with age. There is nothing to worry about it. You have to just consult his psychiatrist for the severity of the symptoms and whenever, he will have mild symptoms, you can try to stop it. Rest, depends upon him, how he manages without medicine. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
