All my doctor had to say in response to if taking my meds are beneficial for healing now is, that if it increases symptoms I should stop. IE: He said, being on the computer now, reading, doing school work, texting, etc, is all okay as long as it doesn't bring on symptoms (which it is not any longer in my case.)

My only concern with remaining on medication, in my case the adderall I guess was the stimulant fact, and not getting as restful and deep a sleep at night. We all know how important sleep is for recovery, and well being overall. In a time like now, with imbalances, and brain needing to get back to it's healthy state, It is only safe to say a good restful night sleep is essential. Even when taking melatonin, I sometimes feel my sleep is not as deep as it should be when on stimulants, if that makes sense.

Been 2 days now, since I haven't taken adderall, my school work has suffered, but I have gotten more restful sleep. In a situation here I'm not sure how to deal with...
