I can relate to this. Without medication I don't have any motivation to do ANYTHING, and that quickly leads to depression. My doctor recommended that I don't medicate on weekends, but what about my personal life? I have things I need to get done at home. My wife likes to with me and my executive functions, too.
- nemacol 5y agoI can relate. My compromise is to only take my morning dose on the weekends(most of the time). Do things and sort of wander off into the evening. The timing, dose, rhythm of your meds may differ, of course. Mine is not the extended release. For me, there is a big difference of how effective the meds are during the week because I have gone light over the weekends.
- aidenn0 5y agoAs an introverted ADHD person, my doctor recommended taking only the afternoon dose on weekends, as much adult social interaction is skewed later in the day on weekends. Only works on non-XR meds of course.
