MODERATORS
define "adhd meds".
Not taking a stimulant shouldn't cause anxiety or depression, but going cold turkey for antidepressants might after a short while and just not taking those is nothing i'd recommend in any case.
I take concerta which although a stimulant is also an SNRI, so a lot of drugs in this class are also anti depressants. Even with amphetamines one of the most common withdrawal side effects is depression.
Do you stop the SNRI on your holidays? If so, don't.
