Forgive me if I'm not understanding your post.. but it sounds like you relapsed, so your last sentence "...I'm proof that it can be easy to kick the drug without many side effects - save for the one of laziness.." makes absolutely no sense. It is not easy to discontinue this drug, and implying that you can easily kick the habit with no adverse side effects is disingenuous, especially since you just refilled your script. Are you happy with your decision of going back on Adderall? I understand the temptation and I don't blame you for relapsing, because I still feel urges to hop back on the Addy-train, particularly when I'm about to do something that I don't believe I'm fully capable of doing. From the sounds of it, taking Adderall is not sustainable for you, period. Taking a stimulant in the morning to bring you up and chasing it with alcohol at night to bring you back down is absolutely going to send you into a tailspin. Maybe not today or this week, but soon. It's inevitable. Stop this shit and get back on track Phil Eaton, I truly, honestly, deep down feel you can do this life thing without stuffing yourself full of Adderall and alcohol.
Again, if I misunderstood your post, I apologize.
ure abs right. i misspoke. when i typed "kick the drug", i meant "stop the drug". thk you for clarifying for all. kudos.

To clarify a previous post - when I said that I had no "obligations/responsibilities to fulfill", I meant "real" obligations to friend/family. I had real obligations/responsibilities to fulfill in terms of job responsibilities .. Just no girlfriend/wife/kids/etc.
Anyway - I'm done with the nasal inhalers.... because I filled a scrip of Addy today. Took 45 mg, went into zombie mode, been doing vodka shots for the comedown.
To my original post, I'm proof that it can be easy to kick the drug without many side effects - save for the one of laziness...

Unfortunately, the 90 day period of "no expectations of production" ended. I'm back in the job market and turning to nasal inhalers for motivation.
I hope that my initial post offers hope to those that fear cessation from Adderall. Beyond that, I can't offer any hope yet about what comes next.

Thank you for the Likes/Comments.
I was nervous about cessation after 10 yrs. of being on this stuff - most of the time at dangerously high levels. At most/no times I can recall I had no cravings. I imagine that this was due to the fact that I had no obligations/responsibilities to fulfill. My family took me in for a planned 90 day period of "no tasks". Initially, we feared mood swings and sleep disorders. In fact, my mood was jovial/positive every day. The only sleep changes were positive - a reset to "normal" human sleep scheduling.

After ~10 yrs of abuse starting from 1.25 mg per day and ending in ~300 mg per day with a 3 days awake / 1 day asleep wake/sleep cycle, I'm happy to say that I ended the negative/unsustainable cycle.
If I can do it, you can do it.

hello again - it's 1+ yrs since my last post (save for the followup to duffman's post) and im back on the addy hard. however - i do have one personal triumph. my last scrip - i was able to carry the scrip to the next scrip! i usually kill a scrip within 2.5 wks - i was able to carry the last once to 4 wks! how? i had a trusted confidant dole me out specific amounts per day.
sad news: im no longer going to have my confidant after i move. any ideas? i need something that only gives out a specific pill count per day and something that i cannot break into/alter. potentials:
