How many of you out there do not take your ADHD medications every day? How does it work for you? Just wondering. I haven't tried it. Some people suggested it to me.

I never worry about becoming dependent or addicted. I have never felt the "high, or good feelings, or up" feelings that others have felt. It's odd, I can tell when the medication wears off though.

how long you been on meds and what are they

I'm taking Wellbutrin 150 and Concerta 54. I see the doctor in a couple weeks. My medication is not working. (I was thinking if its not working, why take them) I started these around 10 years ago. Give or take a few years. I can't remember. I did have a year or two off because a new doctor thought I didn't need them.

I have tried other medications strattera, Cylert and I forget what else. I seem to be doing a lot of forgetting tonight. I guess it's bedtime:)

I take Ritalin 2x10mg - I'm only mild, and therefore my ADD is 'manageable', (LMAO), when I don't have important things to do like 'work'. I've only started to take it, being in my 40s, (and being a late diagnosis), so have 'worked around' a lot of my ADD issues.

So, every weekend is a drug holiday, (dopey days), for me.

Definitely. I think that its important. Important to get a baseline reading and in touch with reality. But I am one of those people that is unsure about the legitimacy of taking some of these drugs.
