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.

    I don’t, my psych straight-up told me they’re not recommended or frankly needed for most people, definitely something you should consider talking to your doctor about your treatment plan. Personally I’ve not seen any decrease in efficacy with 4 years of vyvanse not due to work stress or poor sleep, but every person reacts differently to medication.
