I appreciate all the input.

Thanks!! I didn't get in anything. The doctor recommended the exact same Thing! I'm starting to feel better already I can feel that it might be close to coming to an end (depression)... I hope I don't eat my words. Yesterday driving home it was like the most amazing feeling , I could start to feel the glimpse of my old self come back and feeling just okay . I have admit I'm grateful the doctor didn't prescribe me anything. I am hopeful . He did recommend starting to set goals and following through, so I'm looking into colleges, I'm trying to not over due it as I've only been feeling better the last two days. I had a using dream last night, making me realize just how much time was consumed in using this medication( re dosing at the right time , calculating time, obsessing about how I should be feeling) needless to say Its a bit scary,hopefully this new way of living will keep up. Also I used to chain smoke , I feel like now smoking grosses me out completely? Did this happen to anyone else? I'm taking brewers yeast also it seems to help? Thank youuu! I'm sort of wondering oh wow when is this all going to fall apart it seems to good to be true since the way I felt the first 5 days ...

Hey I am in my fifth day free from add meds. I was abusing my prescription , in my first post it says a bit about how much etc. I'm only 21 and I feel like the last 6 years of my life I have been in a circus where I am the main event , constantly juggling one addiction to the next pretending to be normal and keep it all together on the outside. I feel like a complete failure. I quit cold turkey. For me it was the only option because I was going down hill fast and I wanted out! I just moved home from a horrible break up, I quit my job left my support group AA ( I go for a past alcohol addiction) and my head is filled with the realities of what just happened?! I miss my ex bf so much , unfortunately I was numb through most of the break up and our relationship , which he saw that my addiction to these pills was taking me away so much sooner than I did. It's just a horrible feeling and I'm sorry for being so negative I really am. I just need to get it out. I have slept and cried and wanted to die the last few days. I'm going to see a doctor tomorrow, it's one I have never been too as my doctor ( loves to push pills) funny how I found him. This new doctor is supposed to be good with addictions. I don't know why I brought my age into this lol age doesn't matter , any one suffering from this thing my prayers are for you . This post probably is a bit jumpy and I hope it doesn't offend anyone. My question is as much as I am super pissed at drug companies I can't go on feeling this way anymore soo I'm hoping to ask about an anti depressant .... For short term . I read some stuff on here and I rreally like what someone said about do things that you wouldn't do as to make good behaviours. I am just wondering anybody have good experiences to anti depressants? Am I jumping the gun? T Thank you , this site is amazing !!!

Hey all, First of all this site is amazing! I have been looking for something that helps you get off these drugs for awhile, I was so grateful to come across it. I am on DEXEDRINE, cant find anything similar to this site for help quitting so my hopes are since they are similar that you guys can help me. I have a really addictive personality, I am a recovering alcoholic. No doubt i got addicted to these, it seemed to blind side me.DENIAL. Is there anyone else out there that has an addictive personality as well?I started abusing my medication almost instantly,love at first site, finally i could do the things i wanted to do, focus,read creative etc. Now it stopped working, and I moved straight from alcoholism to dexedrine addiction, i want to get off but i dont know if i should go cold turkey, weaning seems hard especially bc i didnt always abuse it and i dont want to start the cycle over again. I have been on it for a year and a half and have taken between 10mg per day to 30 mg now for the last bit up to 60mg. I am new into recovery from alcoholism again. Anyways any help would be really helpful, Sorry i didnt know where else to go for this help,
