Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

73. ADHD Clinical Pearls: Measuring what matters with Dr. James Waxmonsky
Q: How do you think about drift time and measuring attention in class to guide treatment?
By asking students to quantify the actual minutes of on-task behavior in class (e.g., within a 45-50 minute period) to obtain a concrete sense of medication impact on productivity, rather than just subjective focus.
73. ADHD Clinical Pearls: Measuring what matters with Dr. James Waxmonsky
Q: What is the second key clinical pearl for assessing ADHD, and how do meds fit into that?
Waxmonsky explains that meds help with certain aspects like pacing and organization but are not universal solutions; the focus should be on how meds support goal achievement and daily functioning.
73. ADHD Clinical Pearls: Measuring what matters with Dr. James Waxmonsky
Q: So first, could you share with us some important things that we should keep in mind when assessing kids for ADHD?
The host summarizes the need to obtain symptom counts with established scales, then shift to identifying the family and patient goals in real-world terms, and connect symptom reduction with meaningful functional outcomes.
72. Bench to Bedside - Can we develop Tolerance to stimulants? with Dr. James Waxmonsky
Q: During that 7- to 12-year-old period and puberty, is normal growth a factor in higher dosing needs, or is it more about developmental brain maturation?
Weight gain alone does not reliably predict dose increases or tolerability; more likely, developmental brain maturation and increasing cognitive demands drive the need for adjustments rather than body weight alone.
72. Bench to Bedside - Can we develop Tolerance to stimulants? with Dr. James Waxmonsky
Q: What did your study find about weekend dosing versus continuous dosing in terms of dose escalation over the school year?
The study found that continuous dosing escalated doses faster early in the year, but by the end the difference between groups was small; however, the trajectory of dose escalation differed, suggesting weekends can influence how quickly doses change, though the overall year-end difference was modest.
