Thank you! I started taking adderall the middle of last summer, I’m not sure why I got a prescription.. I wish they I never started taking it honestly. Between the pressure of work, home life and the never ending cycle I felt lost. My husband, children and I live such an active lifestyle.. hiking, biking, being outside everyday if the week. When the kids go to sleep, it’s our time in the gym. I felt like it was truly helping me, but my husband notices a different in me. He says he misses me and that breaks my heart. I need to understand just what you said. Instead of constantly trying to be super mom and the perfect wife/mother. This morning I could barely get out of bed because of how tired I was. It makes me so sad. Are there any tips you have to help with the fatigue?

I am a mother of two toddlers, please tell me that it gets better!

Hi there! I am a mother of two. My son is 3 and my daughter will be 2. I feel ashamed, I have always been super mom. We live a very active life style.. I was also tired of being tired and I fell into the cycle. I do want to stop taking it, I don’t like how I feel when I am on it. I truly feel like I am a zombie with no emotion and I am unable to feel any emotion.. it’s only about what can I do next, what can I clean or what adventures can I go on with the kids. I miss the natural energy I had and the person I was before I started taking it. I am so thankful that my husband is supportive, but stern and honest with me. I truly can’t believe I let myself fall into the habit of taking it and depending on it. I am so much stronger than that, I just feel stuck and I want to be the best mother and wife.
