Hello all.
I found this forum through searching “adderall addiction signs in your spouse”. Our story is complicated. I am a recovering alcoholic who hid my drinking from my wife for years until it came to a head. The reason it came to a head has much to do with my wife’s recent diagnosis with ADHD and subsequent prescription of adderall. She started taking it in June and very quickly adopted an extremely bitter and hostile attitude towards me. We had a pretty strong marriage up to that point. We went through 5 cycles of IVF to get our first child, then one more to get our second. It’s been an emotional roller coaster to say the least. She blames me for everything that’s wrong I our marriage and though I’ve put a huge effort into improving the marriage in the last two months, her attitude towards me has continued to decline and with two couples therapy sessions she’s already said “I’m done. I want a divorce.” I’m at my wit’s end and will do anything to try to get her to stop taking adderall for a period of time to see if she can see things for how they really are. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
