CarpeDiem!

Today is day 7 without adderall, although it feels like day 535764. I'm doing fine though. I'm a little crabby the last few days, but I think that's a touch of PMS ðŸ˜. Or maybe a combo of the two. My daughter is with my parents for the night and it's raining here, so I'm on the couch with a book and some peace and quiet. I see a nap in my near future! Overall though, I don't regret quitting for one second. I just couldn't do it anymore. I want to live a long and healthy life, and the way I was going, that wasn't going to happen. Exercise has really helped give me a boost too, combined with the vitamins. Thanks for checking on me, AlwaysAwesome. This site and the folks on it make this quitting journey so much less lonely.

Oops, meant AlwaysAwesome.

Thanks, AlwaysAwesone. I look forward to the future. I'm so glad I found this site ðŸ‘ðŸ»

Thanks! Tomorrow is day five without adderall and I feel pretty damn good! Went on a three and a half mike walk with my daughter in her stroller today, eating good food, laughing, sleeping great. For being on really high doses for so many years, I was bracing for the worst, but I'm so ready to never take that nasty drug again. Thanks for all the support on here 😊â¤ï¸

Second day without adderall and all is well!

I've had to get a 3400$ tooth implant and have receding gums due to 15 yrs of adderall abuse. The dry mouth side effect causes so many dental problems. Reason 324553 that adderall is a horrible drug.

Wellbutrin 300mg a day has seriously helped my quitting process. It's by far the antidepressant that has worked best for me.

I'm near Atlanta

Thanks! I feel great! Not nearly as bad as I thought.

L-tyrosine for dopamine boost, Wellbutrin (been on that for years), True Focus and l-theanine (anxiety). These have made my adderall quit pretty easy, and I was taking 250mg a day most days. I throw in the occasional sugar free red bull if needed, but this has been my magic combo 👌ðŸ»

I've been taking two 500mg capsules in the morning on an empty stomach. It's helped so much. There are two other things by a company called Now that I've been taking. It's L- theanine for anxiety and something called True Focus for mood and focus. I ordered them off of Amazon and really like them so far.

Congrats! I can't wait to be able to say the same thing.

Congrats! I'm right where you are, except I took adderall for 15 years. Trust me, your dosages would get higher and higher and you would become less and less of the person you were when you started taking it. I'm in the beginning of my quitting process, too. Im also a nurse, and can relate to long shifts. I've found some GREAT natural alternatives that have helped me so much in this process. I've gone cold turkey before with nothing else to help and it's a nightmare. It'll be a long road to feeling like ourselves again, but it's worth it.

I can relate! I've stopped heavy adderall use for 15 years and smoking all in the same month. I don't crave cigarettes without adderall though, so that's been easy at least. Congrats to you! It's hard as hell, but we're better off.

hi all. I stumbled onto this site, and I'm so glad I did. I've weaned myself off of a 200-250mg a day adderall addiction that's been building up for 15 years. I took my last 30mg pill today, and I'm totally out. For good! I'm embarrassed at how high my dosages got, and how I acted on it. The withdrawal process hasn't been fun, but my daily Wellbutrin and L-tyrosine have made it tolerable. I'm ready to get my emotions back, my silliness back, my love of people in general back. I've done damage to my body, I'm sure. I'm loaded up on all my vitamins and I hope my body recovers over time. My daughter deserves to have a mom who is fully present and not one who is always telling her to hold on so I can finish the next task or load of laundry, or whatever. I don't need adderall to be a good mom or person. This drug totally changed the laid back fun loving person I was into a spastic robotic neat freak. No more.
