Jmart Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Has anyone else struggled with GERD after quitting Adderall? My digestive system is shot. I've been trying to get it under control by diet/losing weight but im still struggling. Any tips are welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeHereNow Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 While taking it and shortly thereafter, yes. Once I quit it went away and healed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit-once Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I did not realize that GERD was a possible symptom of Adderall recovery until well into the second year of my Quit. I learned about it around here. It was really uncomfortable at times. And it really fucked with my sleep. My stomach has recovered well, although I had to make permanent diet modifications. Even now, the wrong foods or drinks, too much or too late, will trigger a bout of heartburn. My stomach was changed by an Adderall addiction..... or maybe its just middle age or something else...who knows? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAwesome Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Try some Baking Soda in water. Look for the dose on the side of the box. It really does work beautifully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmart Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 It sucks. It started while I was taking the pills but not till 7 or 8 yrs in. Part of my motivation to quit actually. It has increased since I stopped which is terrible. I've lost weight and I have made diet changes but some days are worse than others. I'm tempted to get on an acid blocker. It doesn't help that I am going through anxiety stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmart Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Caved in and started on a PPI. Life is soooooo much better! That acid was kicking my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
