So height winds up being about two centimeters, not big, but measurably and consistently found there for kids who are routinely on the stimulants for their growth years. And taking breaks that last for several months, like taking it off during the summer, result in overcoming that decrement in height.

I looked, and I still haven't, whether there's any lower rate of addiction, whether there's any lower rate of developing tolerance. There's nothing that shows clinically. I mean, it may be true. The other recommendation when I started out was, and this was before the internet, before constant plugged into everything, and before kids had...

soccer practice and violin lessons and 400 activities is that kids should take it during the work days and not take it during the weekends and not take it during the summers. And now, and for many years, we've lived in a world where little Johnny has soccer practice and ballet and piano and has 42 things to get to where he's supposed to be performing and focused and behaving.

So the sort of excuse you could have downtime has diminished in many communities. And again, whether there's actual benefits to that or not, other than for the height decrement, which again, there is evidence that taking long breaks, but probably not short breaks, mitigates that. I haven't seen any evidence clearly showing a benefit. That doesn't mean it's not there.

Nobody has really studied it rigorously. Sort of related to that, you asked the question about short-acting versus long-acting, and there's differences in the realm of what's clinically helpful or useful, and then there's the issue of risks or side effects. So again, one of the claims is that

Part of what makes a drug more addictive is not just the level it reaches, but how quickly it's going in and out, and that the short-acting drugs may predispose someone to higher rates of addiction.

at least occasionally, some people arguing on the other side, that saturating the receptors for longer periods of time with high doses, with a long extended release version, that may actually be more of a risk. But I'd say there's more concern, I think, in the basic science community from the immediate release.
