Popular Post Danquit Posted May 3, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 So I have been officially off Adderall for one year and I thought I'd update you all. Looking back on the past 12 months, I am amazed that I made it to this huge milestone. It has been the most painful year of my life but I am still alive and I am definitely doing better. I was on Adderall for about 5 years so one year isn't that much but I am hanging in there. The depression and anxiety have gotten better but I am still not motivated and I lay around a lot. I am seriously considering Wellbutrin or other antidepressant but I am deathly afraid of getting hooked on another drug. My focus these days is to get outside and exercise because I put on so much weight in the past year. I am starting to think about the future and what I want to do with my life which is good because I'm not thinking about death all the time. I survived by taking it one day at a time and reminding myself that I was withdrawing from one of the most powerful drugs ever. Thank you all for the support through your responses and posts, I couldn't have made it without this forum! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank B Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Congrats!! Big accomplishment I'd be curious to know the percentage of people on here who have stopped but not made a year mark. Although maybe it's best we don't might be depressing to those who are starting out. Keep it going feel free to send me a message anytime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemoon Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Congrats on one year!! What an accomplishment. Isn't it nice to know that the worst is behind you?? I also contemplated trying Wellbutrin but after a lot of thought, I decided to fight through it naturally. At 18 months, I still have good days and bad days. Around my 15-16 month mark, I finally found some motivation to tackle the extra weight. It is coming off slowly but surely. I also started seeing a counsellor a couple of months ago and I also find that it helps. I'm still not where I want to be, but it does progressively get better, even though it's been painfully slow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
