Anyone out there take, or heard of taking stimulants "as needed'.
I do well during the week, but feel extra restless on the weekends with boredom etc... and find myself craving alchohol, etc.. Any opinions? Appreciate the responses.

I think that would be reasonable. I wouldn't recommend taking them as needed without discussing it first however. Your doc could probably adjust your dosage based on the times/days you are having problems.

It depends on the med your taking and how serious a problem your ADHD is without meds -- like Huh, said. Run it by your doctor.

I tend to not take my stimulent medication when I'm on heavy duty cold medicine, because I'm not going to think clearly or be doing much in any case, and I prefer to mix and match meds as little as possible.
