    Unsure...

    So I'm new to this forum, and am thinking about quitting adderall. Here's my story... I was diagnosed with ADHD about 12 years ago, and have been taking Adderall for about 6 yrs. About a year and a half ago, I started feeling like the medication wasn't working as well as it had been (couldn't concentrate, forgetting, etc) but that if I took 50 mg instead of my prescribed 40 mg, I was fine. My doctor, however, was unwillingly to go over the 40 mg daily dosage. Sooooo, I went to another doctor to make up the difference. Although I knew this was not ok, I had NO idea if was a f#$ing felony. I honestly thought it was just a dick thing to do to your Dr. I have never sold, snorted, or gone over 50mg. Long story short, one of my Drs found out. Now neither will touch me, despite knowing that I have a diagnosis and me confessing my sins. I can understand this, I guess, but neither one has provided any direction regarding staying on, stopping, etc. One even said that she was sure I needed it for my ADHD, and that it would be a very bad idea for me to stop cold turkey, but..... I feel like I want to stop, just so I don't have to deal with this bs anymore, but I know that it controls my ADHD. I'm going back to school in two weeks, starting a new job in four days...I can't afford to be in bed vomiting for a week, then suffering a major depressive episode for X number of months. Do I contact another primary care physician, go to a psychiatrist? Try to quit on my own? Any advice would be beautiful... ps. I have no insurance, and live in Arizona Thanks ele
