Aderall Abuse

I have been on adderall (adderrall) for 4 years and  have becoming increasingly abusive of the drug. Tonight, I finished a months worth prescription of 20mg pills in 6 days. Thats 100mg a day. 5 times the amount prescribed. Although this is the worst the abuse has been ( and my law school finals are weeks away) I do have a serious problem and need help to fix it. NA is out of the question. I have quit before, but the longest I made it was three weeks. I don't want to stop taking the drug, I just want to be able to take the amount prescribed.

Taking the amount prescribed is going to be hard to do now that you have abused it.  Once we cross that line it is all or nothing.  What may i ask are you taking it for..ADD?

Why is NA out of the question?

I've said the same thing you have, "Oh if I could just take the amount my doctor gives me..." Unfortunately for me it will never work like that. I'm trying to come to terms with that now. Before I admitted my relapse, Dr. N and I came up with a plan to get me down to 5 days worth of Oxycodone per month. (I have pain during certain days of my cycle...) But now I know I'll just have to deal with the pain without narcotics because I know for a fact what will happen every single time I get that Rx...they will be gone within one day and I will be doctor shopping/dealer shopping for the next 3 weeks. I can't do it anymore.

(((Hugs))) to you. Admitting you have a problem is the first step. We'll be here for you.
