Popular Post Danquit Posted May 17, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Lately I’ve been having feelings of General well-being and I don’t know where it’s coming from. I just recognize it and I try to savor the moment for as long as possible before it goes away. I think my brain is rewarding me for staying off Adderall. I don’t know, I just feel really lucky to have made it through the toughest addiction around right now. The more I read about Adderall addiction, the more I can’t believe how this stuff is handed out so freely to people. But then I realize that it’s all driven by money and big pharma greed and it’s been going on since the 40’s with Benzedrine. Anyway, I just wanted to share with you all that I have recently been getting some natural feel goods and I want to encourage those that are struggling that it will get better and it’s totally worth it to quit Adderall for good. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quit 25 months ago but it wasn’t till about 3 months ago that I started to feel free. But even though I feel pretty good, I don’t want to let my guard down and end up back on it somehow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimR Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 So happy for you! I look forward to that moment. First thing that happens (at least for me) is the never ending need to sleep diminishes, which is nice. Then my emotions get turned back on to their normal state. I can cry, laugh, and feel human. And then the brain fog clears and it's so incredible. I can't wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank B Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Sometimes now I feel like I’m back on it, then recall before I took addy I was actually a very motivated person naturally it just 2 yrs couple months for it to return after stopping adderall. Any doctor or person wants to say withdrawal symptoms for that long is all just in our heads like to slap the piss out of them. Yes I was pretty much a lazy ass for 2 years doing the bare minimum but never wanted to be and none of us do why it’s so hard for us to quit but we fucking made it hope others can do the same. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. There are little to no trials on long-term effects on speed withdrawals in general (not just Adderall) but I feel like it shouldn't be so hard for doctors to piece together recovered =/= overcoming the earliest withdrawal stages. I consider anyone who wants to quit any addiction to be much stronger than the average person. Every day we go without speed is a huge success, even if we haven't done much else. It's a bummer so many people have such judgemental and old fashion views of addicts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Frank, I’ve been a lazy ass for two years and only recently started to feel some natural ambition coming back. I don’t know if I feel like I’m on it but I do feel I’m back to before Adderall days. I still have to self motivate but it’s getting easier. I am naturally kinda lazy if I’m not doing something I love to do. Unfortunately, I have to rediscover what I love because Adderall skewed my passions for years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I’m lucky enjoy my trade been working some long hours lately and still try to hit the gym although my work can be very physical so some days skip. The best part even if it’s hot I’m in the sun it gives me a lot of natural energy I could never be in a office everyday I’d be miserable although I do office work after 8-12 hours in the field. I know why I went on addy not because i was lazy just wanted to do more but now realize even if my phone is ringing non stop, jobs scheduled out couple days or weeks because I can only work so many hours, office work behind it really doesn’t matter. I’m one person people and things can wait. I’m important, my kids are important and sleep is very important something I thought in the past was a waste of time too much to do. Hope you find your passion because your ready to take whatever on your good at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimR Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I felt physically lazy for maybe the first month or so every time I've quit, but to be honest after about three months I feel I have more energy than I did taking it. Maybe because when I'm taking Adderall I'm always extremely dehydrated, have aches and pains all over, and I live on junk food and cigarettes. But the mental laziness was always the worst for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
