I found this website over 2 years ago when I desperately was seeking help. I managed to wean myself off on my own (this website gave me the courage) and I went almost 6 months without using Adderall except for about 3 times. Unfortunately, I fell back into the cycle. Slowly, but surely. Enough is enough and I finally joined this site seeking help. I have a few questions I am hoping others can relate to on here, I feel this is the best place where people understand the same issues and go through the same challenges. First of all let me start by saying I have been prescribed Adderall for 7 years since in high school starting at 30 mg, occasionally taking more for a huge workload, to some it up I have had scripts being 90 mg a day plus 120 Dexedrine as needed. My tolerance had grown too high, even after 5 months going back to it my I had a natural tolerance. My current script is 60mg xr a day and Dexedrine tabs when needed. I double my script to actually get to work. I don't want to go on like this anymore. I know its a highly dangerous dose. Im looking for others with similar high tolerances and experiences with quitting, what worked best for you? How do you do it? Ive felt the cold turkey method is the best, but I simply cannot ignore my duties as a mother to a 3 year old a puppy and 3 other pets with a house to maintain, online college courses, and occasional part time work. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING! so do I wean myself? How long has it taken others who have such a high tolerance and been on it for years to actually feel like themselves again? Im afraid this process my take years. PLEASE HELP AND GIVE ME ALL THE ADVICE YOU CAN, I need it and would appreciate it so, thank you!
Hello again, I feel the need to ask a second question, for backround info on my case (very high tolerance to Adderall for years) please read my previous top "PLEASE HELP! high tolerance users". Adderall has ruined my life and made me miss so much fun and memories with my 3 year old daughter I don't want to miss another second. I want the old fun me back. After years and years of Adderall with an extremely high dosage and actually troubling with adhd bad for years, is there anyone out there who has tried other meds or specifically vyvanse? ive taken Adderall ir and xr and Dexedrine ir for years. This month A got a script for vyvanse paying the extra money with no insurance just trying to stray away from Adderall. I need something for the mean time of quitting to get me out of bed, I have to watch my daughter all day everyday, school, and occasional work (and of course the duties of a household). Has anyone here had any experience with vyvanse? I don't necessarily like it, it doesn't do much for me, but it helps with getting out of bed for now. Am I in risk of this just continueing the addiction? or will it help me quit? I don't want to pay for something so expensive that will in return give me not the help needed, or make a situation worse. SO DOES ANYBODY HERE HAVE VYVANSE STORIES??? Please let me know, I will greatly appreciate your help.
