This may not be a really good one but it really seems to work for me. I'm on Adderall which helps me a lot when I need to sit down and crank out some repetitive, not preferred paperwork. This past weekend I didn't take the medication, kind of cleared my system and basically vegged out the whole two days. Then this morning I took my normal 30 mg dose and locked myself in my office for the entire day. I was very productive today :-) I think I get just a little extra kick when I go off the Adderall for a few days then start taking it again. I've told my pdoc that I usually don't take it on the weekends. He didn't see a problem with me starting and stopping it like that. So although it isn't a great coping mechanism, it works for when I need that little burst of focused productivity in a pinch.
