I’ve struggled a lot with trying to take drug holidays. When I do them, I end up lying in bed all day and become depressed and/or extremely tired.
What are things that you do to make it easier?
For those that don’t know: A ‘drug holiday’ is essentially a day that you don’t take your ADHD medication so that your body has time to decrease tolerance and make the medication more effective.
An SNRI should be taken every day (at the same time) or you’re going to feel weird. It’s not like the amphetamine meds.
Edit: actually that’s Methylphenidate (Ritalin) which “acts primarily as a norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI).”
Ohhh okay, that makes more sense. My bad.
