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.
Yeah, I don’t. Even in holiday I want to be able to go look at stuff and read books, not just lie in bed scrolling my phone and feeling mad at myself. But what has been helpful is getting different dosages (a benefit of the terrible ritalin supply is I sometimes got my 40mg as 4x10mg). That way I can take less on days when I’ve not got a lot on, and just want to relax. But taking nothing is not a good day.
