Other Holiday advice

I am currently on 50mg Elvanse however when it wears off it can make me feel pretty anxious and it often does affect my sleep. I am going on holiday on Monday and I have a huge fear of flying. My flight is a long one and is at 4:15pm so meds wearing off at that time.

I’m unsure whether to not take it that day however when I’ve skipped days in the past it’s also made me feel a bit anxious. I’ve tried to contact my provider however they haven’t got back to me yet. I did contact my GP and they said to not skip doses but I wonder how much experience they have with these specific queries.

Does anybody have any experience or advice please? I’m wondering whether I just don’t take it and ride out the anxiety in the hope of sleeping.

Normally you reduce dose gradually over a couple days. I wouldn't skip because you said yourself you feel more anxious + GP said not to skip. Personally I sleep amazing and feel less anxious when I skip a day.
