> Take regular breaks from the medication [...] Sometimes try to do tasks without medication

I can't and won't speak to your experience or your medical advice, but from my experience this is advice I would strongly advise considering your own experience before taking. My experience is that if I miss a dose I'll find myself, hours later, with my brain catastrophically grinding gears and in tears from a panic attack. This isn't from addiction, this is because I've actually adjusted to having a brain chemistry that isn't broken. I was just as much a wreck before I was medicated, I just didn't know and had a lot of really unhealthy self-medication techniques.

I'm well near the highest dose on my medication (Vyvanse) and I still have many of the pros and cons of ADHD. I don't need to play chicken with my brain chemicals to exercise the unique heaven and hell that's in there.

Also operating heavy machinery, your reaction time and attention span is dangerously diminished behind the wheel of a car so I simply would have to refuse activities of daily living taking a med vacation day which means I'm not getting anything done and when I have a family I will have dependants that I can't ignore at all.
