Zerokewl Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Calling your doctor and admitting you have an issue is a huge first step. Congrats! Asking you Mom to hide your pills from you is a sure sign your an addict. Withdrawal and recovery are difficult but a whole lot easier than living in the special hell that is Adderall addiction. You can read more what to expect in the early stages of sobriety in the article section of this site. Post often and let us know how you are doing.

I can't handle this anymore the come down is horrible Hey shorti, You have an addictive personality towards adderall! Most of us adderallics on these forums were just like you. We could not for the life of us control how much we took because we are adderallics. When you're addicted to something, you simply cannot control how much you use. Period. I remember a time when I stopped taking adderall for several months and eventually I went back to it and started at 5mgs per day! I told myself, "I can control how much I can take and will not take more than 5mgs per day!" After a couple weeks, I was taking 10mgs every day. Two more weeks went by, and I was taking 20mgs per day. A few months later, I was up to 60-80 mgs per day. The withdrawals are one thing, but adderall can and will destroy your life if you continue down this road. I know it hasn't yet, which makes it that much harder to quit for good. The addiction is all too good at tricking yourself that you will be able to control it. And when you even take 5mgs, you lose all control. Which means 100% abstinence is absolutely necessary. Adderall does a great job at ruining peoples lives. Please do yourself a favor and make a plan to NEVER EVER take adderall ever again because no matter what your brain tries to tell you, you cannot control yourself. You have an adderall addiction. It wouldn't hurt to tell your doc that you took your entire script in a weeks time. Don't tell him you don't like how it makes you feel because then he might put you on ritalin or another stimulant based drug which will probably end the same way as adderall. Tell him you have abuse problems with it. Some people, like myself, can't handle strong stimulants. You are the same way I am sorry to say. Glad to see you back here. Keep coming back no matter what happens because we are here to help you get out of this mess! Blesbro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blesbro Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I would like to add that if you were prescribed 60 x 20mg adderalls and went through them in a weeks time, you were taking 150+ mgs per day!! And that was only on your second script! Imagine what your 10th or 20th script might look like. You could cause serious harm to body and even end up in the emergency room if this continues. Please be safe and act in your own self interest and get off the stuff for good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
