I've struggled a lot with trying to take drug holidays. When I do them, I end up lying in bed all day and become depressed and/or extremely tired.

What are things that you do to make it easier?

For those that don't know: A 'drug holiday' is essentially a day that you don't take your ADHD medication so that your body has time to decrease tolerance and make the medication more effective.

Is a single day really effective enough to decrease tolerance?

Probably not. My question is general on time cuz some people take a week off and some people take the weekend off
