Drug holidays may not affect processing speed while they may reduce beneficial effects on resistance to interference among children with treated with methylphenidate: a single-center, prospective study.

Drug holidays did not affect psychomotor speed while beneficial effects on resistance to interference were reduced with drug holidays. PMID: 33356759 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
