2 Years Off

[Krae19]

Tomorrow it will be two years since I’ve taken adderall!!! Woohoo.  Wow crazy.  Just posting in case anyone is looking for encouragement.  I was on adderal for about 10 years daily use about 40 mg a day.. 

it got so bad I would take it sometimes before I would get out of bed and wait until it kicked it.  I was highly dependent on it and would be panicking if I had to go to work without it. Life seemed to revolve around when I would get refills and when I would take the medicine.  It got to a point where I would use something as simple as doing the dishes for an excuse to take it. My mental health was terrible.. bad social anxiety.. no exercise, cholesterol and blood pressure were rising.  I’m pretty sure adderal had a part in giving me thyroid disease but it could have been the massive stress I was under.  Two main things pushed me to quit finally.. one was the adderal shortage started and it was harder to get refills and two I realized that my sleepless nights that occurred very often were very bad for me. There were many nights I would get two hours of sleep.. averaged like 5 hours a night and would take Benadryl every night just to sleep. 
 

im happy to report things are going awesome!! I’m killing it at my job.. im doing way better than I ever did on adderal, making more money. My cholesterol and blood pressure are normal and i sleep great.  I also work out now 3 times a week which I never made time for before when all I wanted to do was clean and do work.  It wasn’t easy it was one of the hardest things I ever did but it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
