Popular Post survived Posted September 11, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hi all! I wanted to write a quick update on my healing 15 months off Adderall. One of my first posts on here I was at 9mths off Adderall and sleeping regularly since also quitting Klonopin but I still had no energy to do anything. I was really struggling and depressed. Shortly after I started experiencing severe insomnia and months later now that it's begun to clear up a bit, I have noticed I have lots of energy I did not have before! Recently I was able to go to multiple stores, make many stops...and I went out to dine. I couldn't do this before, I would have been too exhausted. I'm still short on energy but I'd say I'm a good 80% healed from Adderall. Not quite there yet because I'm still healing from the other med but I'm in a much better place than at 9 mths and even 12 mths. I think every single month off counts! Stay positive because you WILL heal and your energy will come back! I'm still learning to be patient, time is everything, and to remain as positive as I can. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysAwesome Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I am in agreement. At just over 14 months, I feel like I am about 80% recovered too. That is a good number and it is getting better every day... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I get very encouraged reading these posts. I'm at day 23 and hoping to feel better one day. I still feel drained and weak sometimes but at the same time I sometimes can tell that I feel more present to the moment than I did on adderall. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
