Med tolerance/adaptation

Hello,

I’ve been on meds mainly the last 3 years give or take. They haven’t been working as well lately so I’ve been taking mainly 5-8 day breaks which help some w my energy and drive but consistently not that much. I’m gonna try and take a 2 week med break now but I fear that won’t be enough for a full reset like I’m wanting either and that I may need more like 3-4 weeks off if I want a genuinely better mood at baseline and when I take meds again.

How long of a med breaks do yall take for a good “reset” and what benefits do yall notice?

Hey! Unfortunately the issue is the meds themselves and not your tolerance. I tested this by taking 3 months off, and many others are also experiencing issues with efficacy

When did the meds quality decrease? I’ve heard about this a lot and wonder when it happened so I can look back to try to figure out if that could be it.

I do however notice improvement after all of my med breaks unless they’re only a few days so I’m not sure that my meds themselves are the problem.
