That weighted down sloth like feeling

[Subtracterall]

Took adderall for over ten years. Been off for about four months now. I know it's still early but I have to wonder how long is this weighted down sloth like feeling going to last. Certainly I have times when I don't feel weighted down but other times, Like this afternoon, I feel like I have twenty extra pounds I am lugging around. It takes so much effort to get up and take a short walk.  I've gained approx 10 lbs in four months but I don't think that's what is causing this weighted down feeling?  I eat right and exercise almost everyday.  

Any long term ex users out there - does the weighted down sloth like feeling ever go away for good?  How long does it take?

It does go away just takes a long ass time to get to that point. I sort of look at the first year your  paying the devil back for all those years of using and pretty much suffer but make it through with will power alone. After a year still seems like it wtf this is it I've been off a year and I'm still blah. Then you get a year and couple months finally your done paying your due's and you really start to live that better life that you once recalled before u ever got into this shit.

Frank is right, the first year just SUCKS no matter which way you put it. I think it was around 13-14 months I started having some better days.

Haha, my avitar picture on this forum was a SLOTH for the first year or so.

When exciting things are happening, like on the weekends, I seem normal and energized. I sleep excessively during the week. Wake up at 7am with husband, but then when he goes to work I'll be back in bed sleeping again until 11 (luckily since I work in education I have the summer off.) It's only been 2 months. I hope this doesn't last a year...
