In reply to STIMULANTDrug Holidays.....Any Opinions on this?, posted by Festus on September 8, 2003, at 21:41:30
My son was on Ritilin. He took a *holiday* during summer break, xmas holidays, and every weekend. We never had a problem with having to raise the dosage due to tolerance.
I'm in favor of it. :)
KDi in Texas> In response to a recent thread talking about drug holidays,I find them to be non-beneficial for the most part,save one:the use of stimulants.After trials with 3-4 different stims,the doc and me decided on Dexedrine.I find the only way to keep my tolerance levels at bay is to go about 3 weeks on,1 week off.This method seems to help.I,m afraid that if I went 4 weeks on,0 weeks off,that I,d lose the effectiveness of it and would end up goin up in dosage every several months or so.Does anyone have experience or opinions on this type of stimulant therapy?
