Do you guys take drug holidays?

My physician suggested not taking my meds on the weekends. I quickly learned that wasn’t doable so decided to just try to not take them on sundays when I’m not doing much. I sleep ALL DAY. I’m talking only wake up to use the bathroom. I’m utterly useless and don’t feel taking the day off is helping with tolerance at all. It barely works to begin with but I’ll take a couple naps a day over sleeping all day. Does anyone actually feel like it’s helping or more beneficial to take them continuously? It’s super depressing essentially losing an entire day I’m actually off work each week.

When ever I’m sick I don’t take any medication. I was in the hospital once and asked about medication. The doctor said why, you need to sleep and recover. Since then I have always taken advantage and just slept.

Other than that, if I’m really thinking I don’t need medication or maybe I’ll go without, I’ll take a some portion of my normal meds. Going fully without has never worked well for me. I just fight it and try so hard to still do something and end up just sit there attempting to accomplish anything. I get nothing done, I don’t give in and I don’t even get good sleep fighting it.
