I still am PRESCRIBED adderall 40mg, daily.
But i try not to take it to see what will happen, if i can do work without it, if i can adapt natraully. But i give alot...
That is why i say i try to quit.
Adderall (AMPHETAMINE!!!) is suppost to make people motivated, been used in wars, and offices, and schools since Benzedrine was marketed in 1937.
I dont know why it doenst do this to me, low doses make me apathetic, i do work but i am "zonked".
Well i dont recognized you from my older posts, but for a while i was on 60mg daily, 30mg 2 X daily, not effective, my psychiatrist strictly monitered me when we started treatment with 60mg at once in the morning, but it made me have bad irritiblity after it danm wore off, long term it wore me down, and i STOPPED!
I told my doc, we moved back down to 40mg, then 30mg, but then back up 40mg, thats the bearly effective dose without the bad side effects.
Chronic amphetmaine intake, after time depletes, nuerotoxity to dopamine repecptors, i was SCREAMED that i damaged them bad. I just stopped becuase i was freaked. Took fish oils and B-vitmans like candy.
Anyways, as you know that drug abuse is imprintedon my forehead, yes i know, just one more...
but i realize what happens after time.
I want to really get off adderall, and live normal,
i feel bad that i stated that i know i will do fine, i stopped it superturkey, disorientation, and confusion happened, work deteriated rapidly. Went back, it makes me feel horrible, like right now. When it wears off i usally am not apathetic, back to my old screaming self.
I havent seen you much around dude, are you new?
and are 13? <<mike13>>
Later man
