interesting - why would it be useful? my doctor said it's better to keep the dosage mostly constant because there are studies that switching on and off actually could increase the addiction and it's better for the brain to have not to adapt to these changes every other day.
- dalbasal 6y agoAccounting for all the factors that need account is above my pay grade, so I'm not sure I can comment. Actual medical guidance is often considered more reliable than random internet advice. That said...let me start with my premises. (1) I don't think risks are very high/unknown, and this point (2) but let's face it... an adhd regimen is an "uppers" regimen. So... my bias is moderacy. At the least, it encourages you to be specific in your aims. Are you trying to be more productive 9-5, minimize pathological behaviours, or are taking uppers to handle that 9th or 12th hour of work.
- nisa 6y agoOkay, sure I understand. At the moment it's really going from being a mess to managing life to that extend that I can at least be an mediocre student that passes exams and actually albeit late finishing some projects at work that require some upfront planning and reading. It's all pretty new for me and also working on getting exercise, relaxation and planning to work. The plan is to make a longer drug holiday 6 months in at the moment. But your are correct it's something to be careful with - but I've struggled with these issues all the way from middle school and I had so much trouble, lost opportunities, lost health, lost money due to messing simple things up so at the moment I'm just thankful that I have a tool in my toolbox that helps with these issues.
