We never did ADHD meds while away but I have experience with them, as well as a kid away who required other medication.

Some psychiatrists will provide multiple scripts dated a month a part, not a lot but two or three, as long as the relationship is established and they believe the patient is safe with that, like a parent is helping manage it.

Some will also mail out scripts on a monthly basis with a check-in of some kind.

They might want to know counseling is continuing at the college and have you sign a release of medical information between counselor and medication prescriber.

In either case, if you decide to keep the provider at home, it’s a good idea to schedule appointments far ahead of time for breaks.
