My daughter's doctor wants her to go back to school off of medication. She is going into 5th grade. I have no problem with this. Because when she is in a routine, she does quite well, and does not seem to need medicine. She is more likely to react to new environments that have a lot of noise and activity. This also makes sense becuase she was also diagnosed with PTSD. The reason I am writing, is that without the medicine, she seems to need a lot more sleep. I am a little worried she may be very sleepy in school. Her doctor said this is a pretty typical reaction. I was just wondering how long she will be like this.

Thanks, you have said what I suspected. Her therapist has also said the same thing. I really like and trust her psychiatrist. I am not doubting his advice, I just wanted to make sure the sleepiness was nothing to worry about and how long it takes to go away. My daughter is also a little nervous about not being on medicine. She is worried she will be sleepy in class. I am hopeful that she can stay off of medicine completely.
