      Thanks Lil Tex!! Lately, Ive been getting slammed by PAWS. Yesterday I wrote a paper and then did a quiz and then some homework problems and by the end of the day I was experience adderall cravings that were as intense as when I just quit. Which is really mind boggling to me. I can take in stride though. But it just boggles my mind why this would happen. I think writing papers may be triggering something here.

      Well everyone was talking about the exam after we handed it in, and i think bombed it. I definitely missed some major concepts that everyone else got..

  11. I feel like adderall gave me agoraphobia - the fear of everything. Because without adderall I was afraid of doing everything....At first I only needed it to study in college. Then suddenly, I needed it to get more absorbed in the movies I watched and the books I read. Before long, I needed it to do everything... hang out with friends, you name it.. At some point, i started needing that feeling, that burst of dopamine in my brain to exist...

      Yeah, adderall takes away our self efficacy, our belief in our ability to control oir circumstances. When we quit, that rebuilding begins.

  16. Now that I quit, I feel like I have a totally different brain, like a lobotomy or something. I know that sounds extreme. But I feel like such a different person. Most notably, I am not an anxious, panicky person anymore. A complete 180. Now that I'm calmer, I realize how anxious the pills were making me...
