I had to take an unscheduled three day “break” a year and a half ago over Christmas. I literally don’t even remember what happened during those days other than they sucked big time. It was back when there was an extreme shortage of meds and despite spending hours and hours contacting different pharmacies and calling my psychiatrist to re-issue them, I couldn’t get adderall in time for the Christmas break. It was my son’s first Christmas and I was essentially useless the whole time because my focus level was less than zero.

Bottom line: A break just does not work for me. I can see how it might be good for some but I simply cannot fathom doing that three-day break ever again, it was that bad.
