Breaks are Ok for Chrissakes

So I was a bit averse to taking breaks because every-time I looked into it, folks over here talked about medication holidays and breaks as some sort of ridiculous thing suggested by doctors with no basis on science. So my three days off, then went down to two then to one, and got less and less preoccupied with breaks, which generally wasn’t the worse thing. And yet, after 1 year or so of driving my body very hard I literally stopped feeling pleasure at the end of the day when the meds would stop working. The one day off I gave myself was also feeling terrible and empty and overall in life while I was feeling productive, I felt like a shell. 

Now, I took a one week break. Went to work all the same. Assumed some disruptions. The first few workdays were miserable. I felt really tired. But now I feel great! I had an amazing weekend, where I felt like I could really enjoy myself. I caught up on high quality sleep. I was very hyperactive, but now guess what. I felt like my meds are hitting very clear minded. I have a week's worth of them so I'm not too worried about shortage affecting my dose and I got to feel how I feel baseline and it's not some miserable existence like you'd suspect off one day or two day break.

Now what I'm saying is I understand why people are protective of stimulant use, but I really think this unanimity that postures stimulants as something akin to insulin or BPH medication is ridiculous and counter-productive to healthy use of stimulants. Stimulants are undoubtedly taxing on one’s physiology and there’s probably some receptor down-regulation that occurs over-time that can be mitigated by an occasional break. So please don't urge relative newbies to just never stop taking this shit, because daily continual use helps you.

We're all different and have different neuro-chemistry.
