2014Recovery

I have been high doses Adderall for 6 years and i really want to come off them but have never been able to achieve it. I actually need them to balance out my brain chemistry to feel normal and NOT be in excrutiating discomfort. I was wondering if anyone knows of any kind of approximate timeframe of what to expect week by week with the withdrawal process and restoring bio-chemistry? I think if i have some sort of guide to go by it would decrease my fear and help me push through the tough times.

Hi I've been on high doses of adderall for years and hardly had a day off. I've also got PTSD and get distressed easily. I'm down from 100mg daily to 10-15mg daily and been wanting to be off them completely and so does my family but when i try its like i hit a brick wall when i wake up and can't get out of bed and do anything. I'm so use to that motivated, energy, productive thing it gives me on waking which feels like i said i've hit a brick wall before i even can get out of bed. Then i get edgy and then distressed and depressed and think "I can't do it". There is also the time where i'm wanting to make things i enjoy more exciting and i can't get that without taking another adderall. How do i can through that, what can i tell myself or do to comfort myself naturally when i'm missing the "motivated, exciting, productive" sides to adderall. I fret i have to accept to feel depressed or blah for the rest of my life if i come off addy completely ? Does anyone ever get such great joy and motivation and productivity with hobbies for example without Addy .I find this stuff really hard to cope with. HELP !

Yes it restores the neurotransmitter deficiencies in the brain from amphetamine damage over the 10 day process. Days 1-3 you experience withdrawals but 70-80% less intense then traditional methods, day 4-10 cravings are significantly reduced and often eliminated completely day five some people say they feel great and clear headed, day 10 complete restoration has usually completed and you're ready to tackle any psychological aspects of addiction. It's actually really good for you less traumatic and claims to fix the source of the problem that usually causes people to turn to addiction. Quite often people who turn to adderall have unknown of neurotransmitter deficiencies and it's self medicating this and becomes attractive because it's artificially fixing the imbalance and it's associated emotional or cognitive issues so this therapy is meant to fix that naturally hence the reason it reduces and eliminates cravings and produces stronger recovery rates.so the long term benefits are more likely to stay recovered and not relapse, improved mood, better thinking and better overall sense of wellbeing and much more. There are a number of studies done on this using rats and addicts and alcohol scattered over the internet that i have found and I haven't been able to find one thing negative about it and all only positive ones compared to the group that did tradition recovery methods. It's name is just "intravenous amino acid addiction therapy" or another place called it NAD. A good clinic that explains it is www.healmindbody.com under addiction recovery program. Hope that helps.

Who said anything about free lunch- im only seeking feedback from anyone whos actually tried this therapy before. I figure why suffer more than you need to if there is a less traumatic way available and studies show that those who partake have higher abstinent rates significantly and much less relapse rates and not only that feel good by the end of it too- quite often people turn to drugs due to less than optimal brain function and balance and this therapy heals that thereby making cravings disappear and enhance cognition and feelings of wellbeing. Also some people literally cant endure withdrawal and the often many months it takes of endurance of recovering and it give them an option to choose recovery. Anyway ive only learnt of studies and clinic patient feedback so far and im trying to get feedback from people that I can be sure isnt biased. So if anyone has done intravenous amino acid vutamin therapy for addiction recovery or know friends who have I would really love to hear from you?

The theory is that you can restore your brain's neurotransmitter balance that amphetamines have depleted you of in a more rapid way then the traditional approach of a a long time of abstinence and restoring through food intake, oral vitamins and abstinent time, by administering your body directly into the blood megadoses of what it needs for the process bypassing all the steps of the digestion tract etc. there is only so much you can consume in food and then it has to break down several times to then use the nutrients for neurotransmitter synthesis and if you have absorbtion problems it's even longer till you'll recover this way. Where as with intravenous vitamin therapy you're getting exactly what your brain needs including all the synergistic cofactors and enzymes to synthesis neurotransmitters your body goes into a frenzy over in withdrawals, and directly into the blood ready for use. It means in 10 days this way you have full brain restoration and then ready to tackle the psychological side of addiction and continue with oral vitamins for relapse prevention and maintenance. Seeing as though your administering your body the natural chemicals it's craving (rather then amphetamine ones) it gets to work repairing and restoring and the claims are that this can reduce withdrawal intensity by 70-80% for days 1-3 and then possibly eliminate them aswell as cravings for the remainder of the 10 day treatment. After that you continue on a maintenance program of oral supplements. Oral vitamins and supplements aren't often enough support for cold turkey drug addiction recovery and hence the low success rate. I guess intravenous methods would be more for people who have tried traditional methods and not been successful. It gave me some hope as I've obviously done a lot of damage from my addictions and not been successful doing traditional cold turkey and am at the point of either doing intravenous amino acid therapy and cold turkey OR tapering slowly which would be a much longer method and take all year as I'm on 80mg dexamphetamine/daily. Thus trying to find out about other peoples experiences who have done intravenous therapies as part of my research as it is quite a controversial therapy?

Hi I am in search for serious recovery aids from amphetamine addiction damage as I’ve been a seriously full on daily amphetamine user for years now and have only ever been able to handle a week max of cold turkey attempts due to the withdrawal being extremely intense and unbearable. Yeah pretty worried about the damage it’s done so I’ve realised I really need to seek extra withdrawal support if I’m to successfully recover. I’ve since learnt about megadose amino acid therapy does wonders for getting through withdrawals and rapidly restoring neurotransmitter balances thereby speeding up the whole process and not only that but reducing withdrawals by 70-80% intensity and even eliminating them and cravings by the 4th day, feeling amazing by the 8th day and all completed by day 10 back to normal. It’s serious though as it’s not just taking capsules or powder it’s having daily intravenous amino acid and relevant cofactors and enzymes therapy every day as an outpatient for 10days. As I haven’t heard much about this till recently I wanted to ask if anyone here /reading this post has ever done this kind of thing? And if so could you PLEASE share your experience and your background addiction level (I.e. if u have been as severe addict as me) ?? I would love to hear of other people’s experiences who have actually done intravenous amino acid addiction therapy and find out if it really is as good as I’ve learnt for relatively painless recovery from amphetamine/? And which clinic you went to? I’m pretty eager to give it a go, it could only help or leave me in the same spot I’m in now anyway? Thanks..
