MedPage Today (1/19, Blum) reports that research suggests that children’s “AD/HD symptoms aren’t well controlled in the morning, even when they take their early-morning dose of stimulants, researchers reported” at the American Professional Society of AD/HD and Related Disorders meeting. Responses from a “survey of 201 parents and caregivers” indicated that “74% of children were easily distracted, 73% did not listen to caregivers, and 66% were unable to sustain attention to tasks during the early morning, even when they took their stimulants as directed, according to Floyd Sallee, MD, PhD.”
