Hi everyone!
My name is Megan and I am 26 years old. My parents knew at a young age that me and my brother both had ADHD but thankfully did not get us on medication. When i was a junior in college, I was actually tested and then prescribed adderal 10mg, which obviously starting out, 10 mg goes a LONG way.
fast forward through the years, and it started out with just me needing 10 mg to focus at work and then going to school at night ( i had 12 hour days basically) but once I graduated, I was still taking it obviously for work but now that i had more free time on my hands, was taking it once i got off work to help " motivate" me to workout, clean, run errands, etc.
My dosage was upped to 20 mg twice a day, and i can say now that for about a year and a half, i have been taking more then needed. I used to not take it on the weekends, but now i do. I actually ran out of them the other week and for two days, i honestly thought i was dying inside. i was so exhausted.. and then got to thinking, how fake am i ? was i only able to do things with my life because of a freaking pill...? I am 26 years old but i physcially feel like i am 50, even with " working" out everyday... i know it's not real.
Then about a month ago, i started taking 60 mg a day.. but for some reason, even only taking one Adderall is making me SICK. i have never felt actually sick before on it... and it's like my body is begging me to stop.
I am going to be weaning myself back to tens... then back to only during the week... and then nothing. words of encouragement needed!
