A little scared

[lovely2010719]

I have been taking adderall for 18 years. Only up to this year did I need them more often. My doctor informed me today that DHEC informed them about my perscription. I told them I didn't want my perscription anymore cause this was my sign to be all done. But I'm still scared that something is going to come of this. I don't take any other meds and I've always taken these as I should. What will happen next? Or did my doctor just get suspicious, since I have called them twice telling them I've lost my prescription, and run the report himself. I'm freaking out and about to have a nervous breakdown!!

Thanks! Reading your message let me breathe for the first time today!

I've been wanting to stop. I'm kicking myself for jepordizing the wonderful life I have. I don't know how I could have taken it for granted. I'm ready to get my life back. I've already looked into some of the NA meeting in my area.

The med used to help me when I first started taking it. I am a much better person when I don't take it. I like myself a lot better & my mood is better. I knew I had a problem when I knew this and couldn't stop taking it.

I'm just concerned about the DHEC situation. The nurse said "They saw some flags". But I'm done with the pills. It's not worth it!

Thanks again for making me feel a little better!

Hi,

First, calm down. If your doctor was going to report you, he would have already. And if you lied and were abusing the medication maybe it is time to stop.

Do you really feel that the medication was helping you or were you taking it for other reasons? You need to be honest with yourself about that and it may make the transition of coming off of them easier.

Best of luck and again, stay calm. Nothing in the way of the law will effect you.
