Popular Post CarpeDiem! Posted May 23, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Whoa!! I haven't been on here in forever, but something told me to pop back in. I've been off of adderall for 11 months, and life is good. I very rarely think about it anymore. I still have fatigue, but it's very tolerable. Nothing compared to the miserable cycle of addiction I was in for 15 years on that awful drug. Anyway, just wanted to check in and tell anyone who thinks life isn't do-able without adderall, it is. It so is!! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemoon Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Congrats. Very inspiring. I am looking forward to the day I can say it's been a year for me. Are you able to feel happiness again yet?? That's something I am struggling with. It's been a very long, exhausting, boring, and depressing six months for me. I do notice some small improvements as of late, but haven't felt real "happiness" in a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpeDiem! Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I was on Wellbutrin all throughout the months following my quit date. I stopped the Wellbutrin 2 months ago. I will say, I may need to be back on it, but my goal is to live life pharmaceutical free. I walk or run most mornings, and I just try to remind myself that I am very capable of living a good life. A year ago, I didn't even get out of bed without popping an adderall. I fully believed I literally couldn't do the simplest thing without it. I swallowed about 200 mgs daily for over a decade. I feel like it may have changed my brain chemistry, but then again, I'm hoping that I still need to give myself time to fully heal. I just take it a day at a time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
