had a dr visit the other day for a med check. (another issue with adderal). i discussed quitting some of my meds, particularly adderal. she said that since there were no serious withdrawal symptoms, it wasn't necessary to wean yourself off. i just gave her a look like, "huh"?
then i described the last time i ran out. "well, you could be right but the first day i was without, i wanted to die. after that, it got progressively worse." -
i dont know if anyone is experiencing this but adderall just doesn't provide the thrills it once did. i realize that with any drug there is a certain amount of tolerance involved after a period of time. i've been taking the drug for over 8 years. i'm taking 80 mg's daily. this is the maximum allowable dosage, i believe. when i wake up i take 2 20 mg tabs. after 30 mins or so, i usually feel a slight pick-up. that's it. i take another tab about 3 hrs. later, which has the same effect. i take the last tab 3 hrs after that. i don't have the crash because i never get that "up". the thing is, if i don't take it, i never get out of bed.

i've taken emergen-c but not for quitting adderall. the stuff is fairly expensive isn't it? like about 9 bucks for a box of 10?

I know it has been a couple months now that you have quit adderall. I stopped about the same time you did and was wondering if you were still experiencing symtoms of withdrawl like fatigue. If you are like me theres a product ive been using that has healped me a great way called Emergen-c.Its just a package if vitamins and minerals that you poor into a glass of water. (hot water tastes better). I started doing two at a time, several times a day and now i can do one packet. but several times a day. If it wasnt for these little packets I for sure would have refilled my script. Hope this is a little help.

like a lot of forums, people tend to tell their story and not respond to others. maybe once you see the light at the end, everything, including sufferers, is put behind you?

I am now on day 5 of withdrawaling from Adderall. I know I am thru the worst of the withdrawals.. But I am feeling extremely fatigued and depressed. I have been taking vitamins and I've been eating healthier, but I still haven't been able to gather enough energy to go to the gym. How long does it take before the fatigue starts to go away? Should I push myself to go to the gym no matter what.. Or should I give myself some more time to recover? I don't want to push myself too hard too fast... But I also don't want to not do enough either. Any input from anyone that has been thru this would be appreciated. Thank you.

the fact that i have built up a tolerance for it indicates that my system is used to it and only functions "normally" when the drug is present. it doesnt mean that i could quit more easily. quite the contrary. ever known a long time alcoholic?
they only feel normal when drunk but may not exhibit the symptoms of being drunk. however, take the booze away and its a frightening sight.
