I have also read that drug holidays from stimulants are not necessary (such as weekends or non-school days).
I tried Concerta (up to 72 mg) for a couple months, but I have not tried Adderall. Concerta was good, but I prefer Provigil since I only need to take it once a day and it lasts all day. It also seems to work a little better for me in terms of concentration, mood, and anxiety relief (I also take 15 mg of Lexapro).
It's too early for me to say if it will keep working long term. I started with 200 mg of Provigil but did not get adequate anxiety relief. For me, anxiety and ADD go hand in hand. But when I raised it to 400 mg, it worked well. So I have now been on 400 mg for the past 2 months.
Hopefully it will keep working. I don't have trouble sleeping, but that may be because I take 1 mg of Lunesta at night.
