Thanks for sharing. I know how dangerous these pills are and for sure wont be taking any more than what I have. I will even look into getting tylonel extra strength because that may be the ingredient in the Percocet that is actually bringing my fever down. If I even DARE to think of refilling this I WILL post on this site for you all to yell and scream at me. I am very paranoid about this, and even more so now. I am so sorry about your husband. A good friend of mine was a heroin addict and he had such a f'd up life struggling with heroin addiction. He never committed armed robbery, but he certainly did serious shoplifting, would park his car in front of stores, grab stuff close to the entrance and bolt. ..while we adderall addicts usually cop doctors offices for our fix, heroin addicts hit the actual streets and deal with the police and end up in jail. I met a lot of heroin addicts in NA and the stories I heard were crazy, often ending up homeless in courts, jailed. Yet we are all the same, adderall addicts may not end up in prison like street drug addicts, but We all share this insanity of just being unable to stop despite knowing how it is is destroying us. Thank goodness for the tremendous support and voice of reason we have here running throughout this site.

Thanks quit once for the positive thoughts. Please everyone send positive thoughts and hopefully collectively I'll get enough positive thoughts to help me kick this. You know quit once, I make it a point to get the flu shot every.single.year except of course this year. And of course the one year I happen to forget my flu shot, this happens? Who would have thought right?!

I went to the hospital yeaterday at 3am because my throat is in SO MUCH PAIN and i couldn't take it anymore. I cant swallow or cough without excruciating sharp pain (that means I eat hardly anything even if there is appetite) and they injected me with dialudid, also known as hospital heroin. It SORT of helped but then it wore off and I was in pain again... Blehh. Anyway, I guess i will take the percocet for now, but of course will not be refilling it once its finished. Man I hate the flu.

Thanks. It's been totally working as a fever reducer. Or, maybe the fever is still there, but I can just tolerate it better and ignore it. But when it wears off I get the chills and everything. Actually..hmm.. The Percocet is made up of OxyContin and tylonel. So maybe it's just the tylonel that's reducing my fever. The reason I thought it was the OxyContin and not the tylonel is because I was taking something similar to tylonel, Advil and that was not working to reduce fever at alll..but I am not thinking straight. Maybe tomorrow I need to just go get extra strength tylonel and forget the Percocet,

MFA I'm not sure why they took down the page with the story I wrote and linked to but it appears they did and its gone forever. But I went into detail a lot in this post. I'm so glad this post was able to help you!

Happy new year everyone...I hope you all are having a better one then me. Like a person who has just flushed their adderall, I have been bedridden and miserable the last few days with the worst flu I have ever had...which seems to be getting worse every day..I do not even have the ability to watch the ball drop and I have been popping Percocet every four hours because its the only thing that can bring my fever under 100 degrees. I am worried because I know that Percocet is the most addictive pill on the planet...the horror stories I have read...more addictive than adderall...but it is helping to relieve me of these god awful symptoms. My doctor says to take it as needed, and I am needing two every four hours because the chills and sweats return. Anyway, happy New Years everyone!! A virtual toast to all of you. HERE'S TO A 100% ADDERALL FREE 2013!!! (To all of you who still have pills and doctor enablers, you must be thinking what a great day to flush your pills and email or contact your docs...so what are you waiting for?)

You can flush them and that's always good, but if you don't do something about your doctor relationship you can always go back the next month.there is something a lot more final about your quitting process when you end it with your doc, basically busting yourself to your doc. I am thinking having a family member call your doc may be the best way to do it. I mean that way really worked for me. They did a good job of conveying the seriousness of the situation.

Welcome to the forums. You really need this site. You'll find a lot of people who understand where you are. I was burning through them a week and also buying pills for between prescriptions. It's a living hell. I feel so much better without any of that shit screwing up the chemicals in my brain. My biggest advice to you is to spend a lot of time reading everything you can on this site. You will also learn so much about the insanity if adderall addiction. You will learn through reading lots of testimonials is that the first step you need to take is to call your doctor, and cut yourself off and cut off your supplier. That seems to be the magic formula for all us recovering adderall addicts. You don't need adderall. Your addiction tells you you do. You have stop listening to your addictive self and read these boards for the voice of reason.

Keep it up, keep being strong. You're doing great!

Its christmas day and I am with a bunch of people playing this as I type. The graphics are amazing. Great game!!

Happy holidays everyone!! it's been crazy in a good way. We have 17 people getting together tomorrow, and the day after. People flying in from everywhere. Merry Xmas everyone. May the next two days be merry and bright...and filled with lots of good cheer.

Congratulations on 90 days! Here's to a lifetime of being adderall free.

That's a really question. I have no idea. I was on an SNRI which boosts serotonin and norepinephrine but not dopamine. I considered wellbutrin when quitting but I just didn't do it...

I for one and proud you are doing this without adderall. Keep up the great work!!

I can't imagine myself being handcuffed into an ambulance either. That is NOT me and you are right, it is an experience I am glad is behind me and never want to repeat. But I think we can all agree that abusing adderall can make a person not be themselves and go crazy. It was the first time I went into psychosis and I was really acting up and my family got really understandably scared and called an ambulance.... A couple times police have stopped me for strange behavior because of psychosis. And I have called the police and gone to the police several times out of paranoia in my psychosis. I was never arrested, I think they all just thought I was mentally ill. Anyway, all I can say is that I love not living in psychosis all the time. I am so grounded its not even funny. I am more grounded than ever to compensate for all my time in psychosis. As I am writing this, these are experiences I just really, really don't want to relive, and really the lowest points in my life but I am just hoping that someone will read this and say...what the hell am I doing taking adderall? When this could be around the corner? To anyone reading this especially newbies....do u really want to stay on adderall??????? All these crazy experiences were adderall induced. Not meth induced or alcohol related or induced by any other kind of drug. And its not just me, a ton of people on this site have gone into psychosis, lost their minds because of it..what started as something I took in college to help me stay up all night for exams evolved into this....why would you want to stay on it when this could be around the corner if it hasn't hit u already?

I got to a point where my brain couldn't take these insane dosages of adderall anymore. I was in psychosis 24 hours at this point. Any time I took adderall it would trigger worse psychosis. And I got busted by my doctor. After a series of events...A very concerned relative of mine called and busted me. I showed up to get pills in a state of psychosis. All these crazy things came out of my mouth, too embarrassing to repeat. Even if my relative didnt call my doctor with a heads up, she would have figured it out by the crazy words coming out of my mouth. i was in psychosis and totally paranoid and rambling crazy things. My doc called an ambulance directly to her office, which carried me directly to an addiction hospital. On the way to the addiction hospital The ambulance people counted the remaining pills in my bottle and found all these pills missing and interrogated me. I spent the entire day under observation, was interviewed and evaluated by at least 4 to 6 different psychiatrists and was sent under more observation. I was told my doctor believed i was a threat to myself. And eventually nearly sent rehab, but I begged my way out of it. Legally, they could not force me to enter the rehab clinic upstairs. The whole day even though I was cut off from my adderall I was hearing imaginary conversations and totally in psychosis. Out of doctors to turn...I gave up..there is more to this story but that is the gist.. Now. This wasn't even my worst instance. I've ended up locked in padded observation rooms and resisted and injected with sedatives, handcuffed into ambulances...just a lot of incidences I am not proud of. Maybe another time. I hope none of you get to that place. Sigh, anyway, be strong everyone. Adderall is awful.for anyone who doesn't believe so, .it can be just as bad as meth as you can see from my experience...I'm grateful to be free and back on track. I feel happy, healthy and normal now. There have been so many positive changes in my life since quitting. I can't even begin to describe how worth it is has been. The struggle with addiction consumes a person, to be free of that is amazing.

I remember we had another thread running on neuroplasticity. I can't find it. There have been so many threads since. But I remember I recommended a couple great books I read on the topic that were really helpful. The brain that changes itself (I was actually given this book by 2 different people after I quit) And Change your brain, change your life

Another thing that Adderall caused in me is something called perseverating "the inability to switch ideas..including repetition of words or thoughts" I would repeat the same thought or word in my head over and over for a long time, unable to tune anything else in...kind of like in a trance. I don't perseverate anymore. When I learned that word I was like that is me on adderall!

absolutely, I forgot about that one. Sometimes I would be walking and just freeze and stop moving, lost in thoughts unable to snap out of it and move. I would be still for a very long time, just thinking manically to myself. sigh. remembering the not so good old days.

I dont know anything about juicing. Is this a new thing. I walk by a juice bar in equinox everyday going to work and there are dozens of combinations of kale with other stuff..

Havent taken it post adderall. Curious to know how it works out. Lots of people on this forum have been asking.

no prob!

That just reminds me, a couple months I linked to a piece that aired on Nightline called Supermoms on Adderall .
