ADHD Drug Holiday — Or Horror

 “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.
