I’m just curious to know how many of you don’t take your meds when you are not working. What are you on, and what mgs?

Sylvia,

I do not take my meds on weekends. I see no reason too. Don't need a brain to mow the lawn.

Good question...
my ex thinks I need to give our dd her meds on the weekends and over the summer. I don't see why when she isn't trying to focus like she is in school.
He says it's because "she gets headaches and stomach aches when she goes back on the meds after long periods of time." Does that make any sense?! I understand concern over the side effects; but if that's the ONLY reason to give it to her?!

I'm new to ADD. been on meds for 3 weeks. I take my meds every day. They have made such a change in my life that I can't imagine not taking them. Why would you not take them every day? They have made my mind much quieter, I can concentrate on household tasks much easier. I will admit, I don't work outside the home. Would that make a difference?
