I take btw. 5 & 10 mg Adderall a day. This is for ADD and depression. Rather than increase the dosage, I would like to take a break from this medicine for a week. Yet, I have a lot of work to do. Work is dificult without a stimulant. Would switching for one week to leftover Ritalin from an old prescription be a way to avoid resistance to Adderall? I know that it is still a stimulant (so it wouldn't be a break for blood pressure, which isn't a problem anyway). But after a week, would it be like I was off of Adderall? Or are the chemical actions similar enough that switching for this short period would be like not really stopping Adderall at all? Also, is there a period I should wait in between stopping one and starting the other? Any advice welcome.
