Try not taking at all over weekends and if you can take a few week days off to reset your tolerance. I’ve been successfully doing this w adderall for last 15 years. If you take every single day nonstop you will become more efficient in metabolizing Aka tolerant

What meds?

It is normal to develop tolerance to focalin and other stimulants. I think the brain reacts to the increase in dopamine and other neurotransmitters in a “defensive” way that brings on tolerance. Maybe it increases receptors or something over time. Our brains are interested in homeostasis which the stimulants take it out of.

That is a very common situation with stimulants, and part of why good doctors start you on the lowest effective dose possible. Bring it up with your prescribing doctor, see if there are steps you can take to reduce tolerance (or slow it down, at least) or a different combo of meds that can help you achieve the same effect.

Yes, i took a break and it works again

It’s important to take med “holidays” regularly when you’re on stimulants. Meaning not taking them on weekends, actual holidays, or vacation. I never take them on days I’m not working. Once in a while I’ll even skip it on a workday if I feel like I’ll be okay without it that day.

I do find that I have more side effects when I start again

I try taking holidays by not taking my meds but physically find it hard to stay awake/wake up without them.
