Almost 3 months and having anxiety

[Groundhogdaze]

I don't know what is going on with me at this point. I’ve been off Adderall for approximately three months with the first two weeks being the worst.  I am having anxiety on a daily basis.  Of course my thoughts are to take a pill but I’m not going to throw away three months just to experiment.   I have also taken benzos forever along with Adderall but didn't expect to need them when i quit adderall .  Does anybody else experience anxiety after quitting adderall? 
 

Thanks for being here.  This is the only place I trust that I will read actual experience of Adderall users..

I had extreme anxiety when I quit.. it’s normal and gets better.  I had to start on Paxil 10 mg to curb the symptoms but it’s been year and 4 months now and I’m doing much better.  Keep up the good work!

YES! Until I made it to the 1 month mark for the 1st time/attempt, the only issues I had were the standard fatigue, sleepiness, anhedonia, depression, etc. Then at the end of week four, I started having wicked panic attacks 24/7 and couldn’t cope. I lost my job, started drinking to try to avoid panicking, and couldn’t sleep at all… I know that wasn’t the best way to handle it, but I’m still trying to find out what would work once I make it to the month mark. I am terrified to think of how long it lasts, as I literally can’t function. I completely empathize with u and would love to hear about any possible ideas you might have to combat the anxiety. I will definitely post anything I find helpful when I come across it. Until then, we gotta keep on trying-I wish you well!!
