Is there a specific protocol for taking 'rest days' from ADHD drugs? Your episodes on dopamine / addiction and ADHD medication would suggest there is some kind of tolerance that could build up (via habitual reuptake of the dopamine inhibitors? I think? Please clarify if this is not the case) As someone with ADHD for whom Vyvanse has been life-changing, I worry about desensitization. This is underscored by how miserable I can feel on rest days where daily life feels overwhelming. Thank you! I really love your podcast.
How can I tell if I’m a pleasure seeker or a pain avoider? What can I do to become a pleasure seeker instead of spending the rest of my life as a pain avoider? It would be great if you do a podcast with a Psychoanalyst and address this and similar issues. Thank you so much.
