“Drug holiday”—sounds relaxing, right? Not for everyone with ADHD.
In this episode, I share real-world stories—including a raw, revealing account from reader Katy Rollins—about what really happens when ADHD medication takes a break.
Spoiler: it’s not always sunshine and calm. We’re talking late-night obsessions, hyper-cleaning marathons, and emotional exhaustion.
Whether you’ve considered taking a med break—or just want to better understand the role medication plays in managing ADHD—this episode unpacks the nuances with clarity and compassion.
