im happy to hear you are feeling well

you're getting close!!!!

totally been there. still working on it but it does come in time. remember, baby steps!

going from 2.5 to nothing should be fairly reasonable. most of the hard work is already behind you, enjoy the benefits of your hard work!

cancel your subscription and flush those little shits down the toilet or within two years from now you'll be holding your head in your hands crying, wishing you did

it hits me sometimes too idonttan. i have faith that it will go away eventually. keep it up you're doing great!

your usage was the same as mine. That's no way to live. Proud of you for deciding to walk away finally I agree that telling your doctor is a crucial step. You've wired your brain to be like a two-week-ticking-time-bomb. Quitting through willpower alone will feel impossible after a few months. I relapsed after this long several times because I failed to commit fully and cut off my sources for good. That pattern gets burnt into the skull so easily without realizing it.

finally over my borken hart. happy thanksgiving all. family time is so great

cat!!! Congratulations!! Im so happy for you. I hope the withdrawals are relatively mild. You've worked hard during your long tapering period so you deserve an early recovery that isn't too agonizing. Please go easy on yourself regardless

thanks for sharing

you were a mellow person between binges right? but then once you quit for good the anxiety feels like its slowing boiling over time? the binges were like blowing steam and reseting your pressure gauge and starting over every couple weeks or so. over time you will learn to cope normally. also growing up may be a factor as well. none of us are as mellow as we used to be when we were in high school and nothing seemed to really matter all that much. college is stressful. quit worrying so much! you are doing great and you will feel even better in a few months time. you're in college right now this is the best time of your life be glad you're not fucked up on pills any more. life is going to be awesome trust me

i had muscle twitches in my eyes which never went away until about 5 months

also, now that I remember your story. You need to accept the fact that you spent years buzzed out on adderall and YOU WILL NEVER BE THAT PERSON. you have limits just like the rest of us. you can't expect to be superman none of us are

FKADDERALL: Yes you will heal for the love of God lol. You will heal faster and more fully than most just be patient. But yes you will always be an addict. In 30 years from now, if you try to take just one pill you will end up binging just like before.

my most lingering problem is lower back pain. I did a lot of damage from my 18-38 hour "desk" sessions

awesome u guys keep it up!

Just stop. It's simple at this point. Don't let it get bad. Wishing you the best!

in Love

Most of us quit cold turkey. So I have no advice here. But by the time you get down to 2.5mg you're probably very close to what it will feel like completely sober. So yes, we all felt like crap of course, brain fog, fatigue, depression. It's all standard. We ALL go through that.

i think stepping down works well for things that you can't step up.

well if its any consolation know that its over two weeks later and im still in the procss of doing what I planned to do way back when i posted that post

Yeah sometimes I wish life would just fuck off

So awesome to hear. I'm glad you're feeling positive. This post 100% mirrors how I felt and still feel. I absolutely hear you about the junk food. It was like. Step 1: Not eat for 16 hours Step 2: Come down Step 3: Binge on pizza/perogies/potstickers/anything i could just throw in the oven. Just crap.
