[In need of support]

So today is going to be Day 6  of my 30 day challenge although its difficult today in particular because today is the day that I am allowed to renew my script and I am SOO tempted... I keep telling myself no but theres a voice in the back of my head that keeps telling me to do it because I could only take one a week and get my work done and it would be so much easier... I really am trying not too but Im scarred I am going to cave in.. and fill it "just to have it"

[Pharmacophobia]

I had really bad OCD as a child that I eventually outgrew.... but I had a really bad experience with the medication they put me on to control it and hated it...and for about 8 years after that experience I refused/ was so against taking prescription medications even birth control when I got older. The funny thing is, is that when I went to college and I took my first adderall thats when I stopped caring about whether or not I took prescribed medications... don't know if its the exact same thing but sounded related.

I'm only on day 3 but I've been waking up crying the last two (which I know mood swings are expected) and it takes everything out of me literally to do anything for example I forced myself to go to Target with my mom yesterday and had to ask her to leave because after only 30-45 minutes of standing I would loose my breath... while this sometimes happened to me on adderall when I would take highly excessive amounts some days I wasn't expecting it off of adderall  has anyone else experienced this or have any advice? I know Im expected not to have energy but does it take away your breath etc too?

thanks for the support everyone .. I flushed the pills down the toilet last night... your responses and feedback made Day 1 of quitting a little more bearable. It really sucked but I'm feeling hopeful... it really helps that you all take the time out to care.

After posting on here yesterday I flushed the rest of my pills down the toilet.. Today started Day 1 of my 30 day challenge of quitting adderall (yay). Although today effing sucked, so slow so boring and the way my body feels is the worst (bad enough to make me not want to have to ever do a 1st day again) but I feel better about myself already! Thanks for all your help in helping me get through Day 1

Im 23 years old and have been dependent and addicted to adderall ever since I tried it my freshman year of college. I found a doctor who wrote me a prescription and have abused it ever since. I graduated last May and have told myself ever since that I wouldn't take adderall anymore because it was just to get through school. I figured I would stop after because I was taking a year off and I wouldn't have to rely on taking it everyday, so I would tell myself its fine you're stopping soon anyways under the most ideal conditions with no work or responsibilities. Its a year later and I take the same amount I was taking in school and I do way less with my day. I always make excuses to not stop taking it because I may need it or I'm never going to finish what I am doing. I feel like I need it just to get out of bed in the morning and enjoy life. I secretly hate it but I cant stop it, even when the thought of taking one makes me nauseous in the morning (because I took so much of it the day before) I cant seem to stop myself because I need them to make my day standable. Everytime I go to flush them down the toilet I always talk myself out of it. I have no idea what career I want to pursue because I feel like the adderall just makes me content with my life as boring as it is in reality. I hate it but I am so scared to be without it because of what I am not going to be able to accomplish. I hate the feeling of having to rely on it, it just makes everything so much better. Come 2 months I am moving to a new city to look for a real job and feel like I cant keep living like this or I wont even be able to hold a real job. I just dont know how to quit it, because what if I do end up needed them. I get hysterical every time I think about it because I actually really want to quit and just be the person 4 years ago who got into college without ever touching adderall. I am really in need of some support, encouragement to quit and some tips! please and thank you so much.
