This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to understand how stimulant medications (like methylphenidate and amphetamine) affect your driving ability, and what happens when you take breaks from them. Some adults with ADHD choose to take "drug holidays" — short periods without their medication — and this study will measure how these breaks impact your driving performance using a realistic driving simulator.
Adults with untreated ADHD have a higher risk of traffic accidents, largely because ADHD affects attention and focus while driving. The medication helps many people drive more safely, but some adults want to take occasional breaks from the medication. This study will help doctors understand whether these breaks are safe or if they put drivers at greater risk.

You will visit the research site and complete a series of driving simulator tests — essentially a video game-like driving scenario where your attention, reaction time, and driving behavior are measured. You'll do this test three times: first while taking your usual medication, then either a second time while medicated followed by a time without medication, or vice versa. The study tracks how your driving performance changes depending on whether you're on or off the medication.
