Hey there all:)
I just joined this site this evening after having another one of my "quitting adderalI epiphanies". I'm currently on vacation with my boyfriend in Costa Rica for the next month and I realized that I'm not as happy or excited as I should be. Adderall seems to drain all my happy brain chemicals....even in a beautiful warm place! I am sick of the depressed, anxious, numbing and crazy feelings from this drug. I think I am ready to quit for real this time.
I started taking adderall at 15 and quit at 17 due to terrible panic attacks. I started on it again nearly 2 ago at 24 and loved it. I still take 20 mg everyday. It has been giving me terrible anxiety and depression lately. I don't feel like myself any more. I know it is not good for me and I don't believe I have ADHD or ADD. Yet I seem to always find a good reason to give into my cravings and pop the pill. I love how thin I am on it and how I don't over eat. But it's never worth it. I hope this time I really quit.
If anyone has any helpful suggestions or tips on quitting this evil orange pill, please share:)
Thanks:)
