I've been taking Adderall for about a year and a half, started with 10mg a day, then I quickly started taking 10mg twice a day. I work long hours for sometimes weeks on end and I was exhausted but wanted to prove myself at my job. I've been taking more and more, probably up to 60-70mg a day for the past couple of weeks. My prescription is out and there are still 12 days until I can get it refilled. I've been reading horror stories about withdrawal symptoms and how it is dangerous to quit cold turkey. I'm not sure what to do, I haven't told me husband, he thinks I take 10mg once a day and not on my days off. I know I should probably talk to my doctor, but I'm embarrassed. I can't really afford to take much time off of work to detox but this has to happen. I don't want to be dependent on it. it's not even working that well anymore, even when I take 40mg inside of a couple hours. Any advice or words of encouragement would be amazing. thanks for listening.
