adderall

by starling11, Nov 03, 2007 07:13AM
I need some general infomation. My sister has been taking Adderall (adderrall) for 2.5 years. She is a recovering drug and alcohol user who has also is using alcohol again. She is also taking pain medications for a variety of health related issues. She does not sleep for days at a time and then sleeps for 24 hours. It is obious that she is in a cycle of dependancy and abuse. I have told her of my concern. Her response was typical, " I don't know what I'm talking about". She is coming to my house to get any thing she has here in an effort to break any ties we have with each other. I am not worried about our that, but want to know what to do next to assist her in seeking help. My sister belong to AA for 25 years and was an intervention professtional. She is a brilliant person who has relapsed.

I am not familiar with Adderall (adderrall), but it does sound like she is becoming addicted to more than one thing. It's still early but I'm sure someone on here will be able to advise you on Adderall (adderrall). The only thing i can say is until she realizes she has a problem and wants to change you can only do so much, and dont beat yourself up if she does not get help, she has to want help you cannot make her get it. I wish you and her the best of luck.
