I wouldn't say every single day sucks anymore, it is getting better, but it takes a LONG ass time!! I can't wait until the day when I can say this is 100% behind me. I'm getting there, slowly but surely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featherdusters Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 It's great to hear you are having good days. I have a few here and there and then get sucked back under. One day we will be done with all of this. I have a countdown timer to my two year mark. Time moves more quickly now than it did at the start of this process, it was slow as molasses. Now a few days can pass where I don't think much about withdrawal. I will be great once this is over. Hang in there! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthology Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 The ketogenic diet will help alleviate many of these . Takes quite the commitment, and you want to do quite a bit of research before starting (or see a keto-friendly dietition). I'm about 2 months from my last pink pill after being enslaved for 11 years and haven't had any cravings for my Adderall (or carbs for that matter ). I actually read in one of my texts that Narcoleptics are using the diet to help them with energy/staying awake, etc. I'm actually thinking of entrepreneurial ideas to help addicts get clean using dietary ketosis. I'm going to be making a thread about my quit story soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featherdusters Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 You will have to let us know how it goes. Does it alleviate PaWS symptoms? Depression, anxiety, cognitive issues, sleep disturbances,.. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthology Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Would you believe me if I said it helps with all of the above? Because it does. It's weird, I've been anxious my entire life, and I love looking folks in the eye now and peering into their reality while speaking to them. After quitting Adderall, I'm down from 1.5mg Klonopin/day to 0.5mg/day and I'm about ready to come down to 0.25mg/day. I'm on nothing else, I'm not even regularly drinking caffeine. Gotta give the adrenals a break, no? I'd recommend a couple books if this has grabbed your interest: Keto Clarity and/or The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living. My local Barnes & Nobles had Keto Clarity in stock. Keto Clarity has a case study of a 21 year old who stopped taking his Adderall after starting the keto diet. You can find many other anecdotal reports out there online. Also, if I could recommend one resource on YouTube it would be "stephanie keto person". The first video I saw from her when I began this 'way of life', I didn't subscribe and wrote her off as a little off her rocker, but she knows her stuff and has worked with thousands of people helping them get into nutritional ketosis. She also collaborated on the Keto Clarity book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featherdusters Posted June 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I looked into it. I'm a veg head. Maybe I can do intermittent fasting with MCT. I'm glad it's working for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
