I have an auto-immune issue, most likely MS (have a few of the markers, time will tell). I too have suffered years of extreme fatigue, brain fog, and cognitive issues among a list of other symptoms. I've been off adderall right at a year now- it's been hard but not as hard as I thought it would be. Just recently my energy levels really began improving; it's a long road but don't get discouraged! I personally take Magnesium Citrate in the evenings, I eat foods rich in energy sources, try to get plenty of sunshine and good sleep- the combo does help a lot. Eventually the adderall no longer gives you productive energy anyways, and the quality of your life gets to the point where sleeping would feel better... In the end, I had worse brain-fog and concentration issues than I ever had without it. Good luck and read up on the things your body needs and the natural sources where u can get them.

Great post! I made it thru all the stages and into the last one (8)- thankfully that all ended 12 months ago. I am still physically, spiritually and mentally recovering. I was taken back by the information on "word salad", this was the exact term I used when trying to tell others that something was definitely wrong inside my head. I had learned that term in a psychology class but did not know it was related to schizophrenia, I had been told it was due to brain injury. Scares me looking back at that time and piecing together info now about what was really happening to me. Thanks for posting this, it is very informative.
