Questions about ADHD meds?

[coffeandrteav]

Are you able to drive?

Are you able to drink coffee?

Are you able to drink alcohol?

Do you take it constantly?

Can you give yourself breaks? Like if want to have a week off lounging on the sofa.

I have read some of the possible side affects but searching the following leads to a range of answers.

I guess it depends what medication you have and how it affects you.

Dc (young adult) has medication - learning to drive, can drink coffee but prefers tea. Never drinks much in the way of alcohol but takes meds in the morning and has been told a few drinks in the evening isn't an issue.

Yes take it constantly. We had an issue with the recent shortages and dc went without for a couple of days. Back to square one really quickly so we're doing our best to make sure it doesn't happen again. I wouldn't suggest taking a week off medication if that's what you meant.

Thank you for your reply.
