Day 40:✔

The lack of motivation and pleasure in pretty much everything is giving me a run for my money too... That and the reality of having to go back to work after 10 days off. But hey... It's a new year, new me and a new you... Right?😎 Not that I'm glad that anybody has to be going through this bs, it is kinda comforting to know that someone else is right there with you to get support from. Like you, I've tried quitting in the past a few times and never made it much past the 30 day point. Before now, I never researched quitting enough to realize that this isn't a 30 day, be back to normal situation... But that it's a journey that has no time line. This time definitely feels different... So very much of its mental. I just keep trying to stay focused and get through each day with as positive an attitude as possible and a smile on my face😀 60 days is right around the corner! Alot of people say you'll notice a substantial change in energy levels between the 60-90 day point. We'll be there before we know it!

Day 37:✔ Im with you on that bluemoon... Feel like I have less energy most days now than at around the 2-3 week point. Other than that, feel like I'm doing pretty good. Don't really have many intense cravings and my depression and anxiety have improved quite a bit. I'm a single parent with two small kids and the lack of energy, combined with them being out of school for two weeks is kicking my butt! One day at a time... One day at a time...

Day 34:✔ Fautige has been kicking my ass lately!

Day 34:✔

I just hit the 30 day mark with the support of the great people on this forum. I never told anyone but my wife (ex-wife now) that I took adderall and therefore never told anyone I was quitting a four year 60mg a day habit. When I'm struggling I instantly come here and read enough off the forum to convince myself I've made the right decision. The nasty lil voice of addiction will often times try and convince me otherwise... But FUQ him!! Its my life! If you dont have support from friends and family at home... Get the support you need here. TELL YOUR DR TO CUT YOU OFF!!! Eliminate that as an option... Good luck!

I just hit the 30 day mark a few days ago. Took the cold turkey route. I'll be honest, its not been easy... At all, but it's doable. If you really want to do it, I highly recommend telling your Dr your plans so that getting your rx refilled is not an option. I assure you there'll be days where heading to the pharmacy is all you'll think about. If its not an option, you'll naturally spend much less time thinking about it. The first two weeks sucked ass for me... body aches, tired as hell, pretty shitty anxiety and depression. Weeks three and four had their ups and downs but seemed to be a lil easier. As of now I'm still battling depression (not necessarily all due to adderall) and the fautige is an ass kicker. I've found that pushing myself to get things done helps with my depression and fautige, even though getting out of bed seems to be a monumental task some days. Just remember that you can absolutely do this and the reward is absoluetly worth it! Good luck!

Day 30:✔ Day 60.... I'm coming for your ass!!!

Thanks! I'm going!!!

Right behind you teamwin and feel the same way... First two weeks were hell, week three a step up from hell, week four definitely getting easier. Been listening to some Zig Ziglar motivational CD's and he repeatedly says that "action creates motivation". When battling the extreme fautigue and lack of motivation to do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, I've realised that if you'll just tell the voice in your head to go to hell and make yourself start doing a task... Motivation will follow. This has really helped me out tremendously. Helps with the depression that comes with feeling like a worthless pile of shit from not doing anything as well. Get up and do it... You'll never once regret it! Good luck in your journeys everyone!

Day 28:✔ Merry Christmas everyone!! #nevergiveup#lifeisgreat#addycankissmy"skinny"ass#twomoredays

Day 26:✔ Booom!!

Day 26:✔ Booom!!

Scott... Hang in there man. You're at the point that seemed to be hardest for me. You will start to get your mental clarity back very soon and things will start to be a lil easier. After week three, the cravings went away for me, the fautigue is still pretty rough though. You got this!

Just went back and counted... Day 24:✔ Closer than I thought! Woot woot!!

Congrats to bluemoon and teamwin24!! Thats huge! Keep it up and lets all get to day 60! We got this!

Day 22 I think:✔

Day 19:✔ I've laughed more in the past week than the past four years combined... Shits actually funny again. Feel more and more normal with each day that passes. Still battle with bouts of extreme fautigue daily but it comes and goes and seems to be less frequent with each day that passes. Up until a few days ago I really battled with the voice of addiction in my head making me second guess whether or not I'd made the right decision. I can now tell you with complete confidence that I most definitely have. That evil voice will start to eventually leave you alone after a while and allow you to move on with your life... You just have to stick with it. Dont give up!! Its not worth starting over! Good luck folks, if I can do it, so can you. Hang in there and beat this!

Day 17:✔

Day ?:✔ Hell yea!!

Thanks doge! Still going... And loving life more and more everyday!

Day 14:✔ Officially two weeks!! Really started feeling noticeably better within the last few days or so. Its getting easier!
