My Downward Spiral

[Mcheese]

Okay so I've never posted anything on a website ever so forgive me for my novice post. I've been reading up a lot on adderall abuse because I have been abusing adderall since last fall of 2013 and my usage has increased drastically through the spring and summer school semesters. I am not prescribed adderall but my best friend is and she gives/ sells them to me willingly. I started abusing it to keep up with my busy lifestyle of pre med classes and work. Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough time in the day to get everything done that I need and adderall helps keep me going and focused. I rarely take more than 20 mg IR in a day but I've noticed that I'm beginning to lose myself. I was training for a half marathon and now I can't even run without feeling like I'm going to pass out. I'm 5'8 and barely 120 pounds because I'm constantly on the go and not eating. I never thought it would become this way. I only ever started taking it because I felt like it really helped me pay attention and get my life organized. Now I've decided to quit for good because I feel that it is a slow, painful death both mentally and physically. I am happy to have found this website because it inspires me to get my life back together. I know that I can succeed without it.

Welcome to the forum. Adderall has a funny way of taking over your life and isolating you from everyone and everything. Take some time and read the articles on the site. Ask questions we are here to support and be supported.
