I mean…yeah? If you can go without them for a few days at a time, I see no harm in reducing your frequency.
Ultimately its your decision!
Ah, gotcha, I understand now. That is definitely more of a predicament. I don’t really have any insight here since I’ve only taken them recreationally, but I hope whatever decision you make works for you!
It sounds like you’re having unpleasant side effects from stimulants. Is there a reason you wouldn’t want to share that with your doctor? If they put you on the medication in the first place then they’ll want to know if you’re experiencing side-effects. They might suggest alternative medications, or a lower dose. Most people tolerate stimulants pretty well, but they can sometimes cause things like insomnia and high blood pressure with some people.
It is safe to take them intermittently, but I don’t know if that’s as much of a concern as the fact that you’re having these side effects to begin with.
Eh, the boat I’ve been in is that I don’t work without stimulants; like cannot function in a capitalist society without them. So I have to choose between shortening my life span or homelessness; that’s my reason for doing stimulants but only as needed.
Ah, gotcha. Well, while you’re on the waitlist it’s totally fine to skip doses. A lot of doctors will suggest taking regular breaks, like skipping weekends or taking an annual drug holiday, so I can’t imagine it being a problem to only take as needed. The only downside is that it has the potential to reduce your tolerance, which can make the side effects worse when you do take the meds, but it’s not unsafe to try it and see how it works for you. Stimulants are only really dangerous if you take too many, or mix them with drugs that have adverse interactions. You’re not harming yourself by taking fewer doses.
Yup, take them when a deadline’s coming up, slack off the rest of the time.
You sure your dose isn’t too high? That’s a sign that you’re overdosing and should either take it down or try another one.
Aw that sucks. Guess you’ll have to do what I did when I encountered something similar and took it sparingly. Usually had the weekends off but it all depends on what you prefer. I’d advise you to be very strict with your lifestyle in order to function as best as you can without them, depending on how severe your adhd is.
Sleep early and make sure you get at least 7-8 hours if possible. Stay away from sugars in your diet. Write down some sort of routine so you can try to stay on it and keep up with daily demands.
Wellbutrin works for me so far. added benefit of helping me quit vaping
