Greg Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Congrats lil tex. we quit the same date. So it's 3 for me too. It's been a wild ride but so worth it hasn't it? I was just thinking about this journey. I am kind if bummed because I still get PAWS headaches three years later which JUST totally pisses me off. But on the other hand I have no desire to ever be back on it ever again. Anyway, awesome job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian05 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 InRecovery, are you sure the headaches are PAWS? Maybe its something unrelated? Can u go into more detail what you are experiencing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 InRecovery, are you sure the headaches are PAWS? Maybe its something unrelated? Can u go into more detail what you are experiencing?It is definitely related. It's just more of the same as what I have been feeling since I quit three years ago. It's not as bad as before for sure! But it is still the same thing. At it is worst it is an intense intense craving for adderall, but usually it is tensing in my neck and grinding my teeth in discomfort like due to a lack of something. It is always brought about when I am under stress and when I am in situations where I used to rely on adderall to get me through. But often times it will be for no reason at all. The difference between now and before is the duration of my PAWS. When it strikes, it doesn't last as long as before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have been describing that same headache ever since I have known you, even before we discovered it had a name called PAWS. I hope it goes away from your life sometime soon! Congratulations for three years ofRecovery, InRecovery, and for all you have accomplished in that time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jon Posted November 20, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hi InRecovery, I wanted to chime in on congratulating you on reaching three years Adderall free. Thank you for sticking around the site. You are like a monument for all that pass through. You have proved that a return to academia is possible and can be accomplished with excellence. You are a great role model for all the college students who have an increased exposure to the drug, a "logical" reason for using it, and then get trapped in the web of addiction. Thank you for being here on behalf of these young folks too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blesbro Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I second what Jon said, InRecovery. That was my biggest fear when I quit. That I wouldn't be able to get back to a high-level of achievement in school. While I'm not there yet I'm taking big steps in the right direction! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
