Adderall addiction

[AML]

I recently discovered that my 49 year old wife has been taking my sons adderall for a year.  She has been taking 20mg. per day.  She also takes celexa for depression.  I am concerned that she is addicted and will have withdrawal problems.  I have hidden the adderall from her and she no longer has it available.  She relizes that she has a problem and has commited to quit.  What are the withdrawal symptoms, how soon after she has quit to they show, how long to they last and how can I help.

Thanks,
AML

i could really use some feedback.  any one with experience using long-term benzo's.  i know seizures are to be expected.  i just do not know how to finally get off the benzo's without dying.  the last time scared me when i had the heart attack(m.i.).  i do not trust many people in the medical field.  i've been there myself.  i would love to be free of the benzo habit.  then i could get off the methadone, and finally be drug free for the first time in over 21 years.  i cannot afford any more treatment. i spent my entire inheritance on rehab.  i have to go to work now!  no more problems.  i could just go back to the doctor and tell him how it is.  it would work for a few more months. but i might have to really face this somewhere down the road.  any suggestions would be appreciated.   Angst.

i've been on benzo's for 21 years.  i've been to rehab over a
opiate addiction and they try to address the benzo's.  the thought of not having them around scares the hell out of me.
i'm on methadone for the second time.  it works for craving the needle.  but it does nothing for agoriphobia (sic).  i mean that i cannot leave the house without the use of benzo's.  i've tried all the sri's and new neuroleptics.  i've read rem therapy and everything else i can get my hands on.  the doctor i see now is trying to reduce my dosage of xanax.  i've taken everything from ativan at 14 years old to klonopin to serax to xanax.  i also have asthma.  i had an m.i. in the last treatment center when they tried to take me off the xanax.  any body have an idea other than prayer?

I as hopeing you might change your mind about leaving this fourm.
we all need each other other's insight and experence.
One thing that has really helped me over the years is allowing
people to be where thier at, and that includes letting others make  mistake's. we need to let each other have bad day's.
If i cut everyone out of my life who made me feel bad or critisized  me, i would be all alone.
I was taught to alway's ask myself WHERE CAN I BE WRONG<.

I spent years blaming others and that is just imature denile.
Any way your imput about perc's and vike's and hydro's being the same as ox'es , in my experence is true . tne oxicotin just is stronger and has no acetametphene like you said.
In my area a lot of young kid's have been dying ,while abusing the oxicotin. Myself, i stayed away from the ox'es because i alway's had a problem over doing it with pill,s.
I would take 10 to 15 perc's a day. If i had oxicotin i would
have had a impossible time taking 2 or 3 a day. I would have probley taken 5 or 10.
this just reaffirm's ther is somthing wrong with me.
that's why im here 16 day's cold turkey on the receipe.
