Heres my story,
My name is Michael.I have an amazing wife,2 awesome kids (one on the way),a very good paying job. I started working in the "oil-field" 5 years ago. Well my first hitch out, it almost killed me. I worked harder than ive ever worked before in my life. But, I made it, It got easier. So I had decided that if I was going to be gone 6 months out of the year,Why not make as much $$ as I can? So I did,I busted my butt day after day. I got promotion after promotion. Im currently in a spot that most men work 8-12 years to be in. (Im 24) So I am very blessed, And very thankful. But here's my problem= After about my 2nd year, I decided to go to the Dr. about being constantly fatigued/sleepy. I was then prescribed Vyvanse. It made me twice the worker I'd ever dreamed of being.Over time I swapped over to Adderall etc. and Adderall is what I'm currently taking. I HATE it! I cannot function without it. I have quit cold turkey last month, I slept for literally 4 days straight. Woke up just to eat/shower then right back to bed. Keep in mind I work 2 weeks gone/2 weeks home, so this is time im supposed to be spending with my pregnant wife,boys, and doing all my other house/yard duties. My wife doesn't work (pregnancy problems), I have 1 wife+2 boys+1 new baby that depend on =Me. I Love my family unconditionally, and will do anything for them. But this MED has made me anti-social,irritable,un-able to show affection, etc. I am at work now, laying in my bed, Have been stressing this for months now and came across this website. I feel alone,I have a family that needs a Strong Dad,6 men that work for me that need a Dependable Boss,and bills that just have to be paid. Advice?Support?Comments?
Thanks -Mike
