I've been hooked on adderall for about 7 years. I began taking it for school, and it became a recreational habit. Though it has helped with my studying, i also notice i get side tracked into doing other irrelevant tasks. Long story short, the trend i'm in now is...
1.Get scrip - 20mg (30)
2. I go through it within a week and a half - (abusing it heavily, even when i do not have work)
3. Once i'm done, i usually go into a depression mode for about a week or so..irritable, extremely fatigued and crazy appetite.
4. About a week later i start up working out again...makes me feel good and i usually get back into a good routine of sleep, work, gym etc.
Sometimes i'm in this good routine for weeks, other times i'll be chasing my next appt with the doctor. On the other hand, I've been able to go without it for months at a time -(so i know i'm capable to quit). For some reason no matter how long i'm off it, something triggers the urge to go get it. And bottom line is its killing me financially, health wise and i think mentally. I've become extremely paranoid, anxiety and i am impulsive with the wrong things. To be honest, i dont even need it for college i'm able to study if i put my mind to it. I'm just tired of this trend, i want off it...i dont want to be doing this the rest of my life...its taken up way to much of my life already. As far as health reasons go, I've had some very bad feelings in my chest after abusing, my heart pinching... numbness sensation in my head and face. I'm worried that if i continue along this trend i'll do permanent damage. Or worst...god forbid. I also only ever smoke cigarettes when i'm taking addys. Off it, i cant stand them.
Anyway, I've got two pills left...and the cycle is ending. I want out.
Could really use some advice from people in the same boat.
