I am on two meds for ADHD and they have really helped me a lot. I think I've been on them for a couple of years now. I don't have a strong desire to stop them, but I know they are not good for my heart and blood pressure. I think I will stop taking them when I am done with school, which is another 2 years. One of the meds is a stimulant and I try not to take it every day--just on days when I think I will need it. So I do what I can to minimize use. At one point my PNP said that I could probably drop the non-stimulant med but then said well maybe I'd better not rock the boat right now, since I was doing well. So she is on board with the idea of waiting until I am done with school.
