HotMess Mom

I relate to this SO much. I have been on and off of adderall for 22 years (mostly on) and the cycle is killing me. I’m on it and the side effects are awful. I’m off and I’m a mess of a mom and employee. I have always been prescribed a high dose because my tolerance is so high. The biggest reason I get back on is feeling like I will be better for my kids or whomever by being more “on top of things”, and yet it’s a façade. I can’t seem to be motivated to do anything without it and get down on myself about feeling lazy. I wish there was a natural alternative that worked similarly without being an addictive amphetamine. I’m so tired of not being able to stop.
