Adderall withdrawal

[deedee525]

I am trying to get off an 8 year prescribed use of Adderall.  60 mg. per day.  I was prescribed this for depression in 2002.  I have tried several times, but here I am. Discouraged. as I went most of my life (56 years) without any mood altering substances other than prozac which was not difficult to stop at all.I cannot seem to find a block of time where I can work and withdraw.

Have you discussed this with your doctor?  I would hope he would help you taper down on this......

Speed wd is much easier than opiates to get over.
You need sleep, and food. My best suggestion would be to take a Friday off work and Monday. Give yourself 3 days to do nothing but sleep and you should be feeling much better.

I was on adderall, dexedrine and meth for 15 years. I've detoxed no short of 50 times over those years. Every time its the same thing... Sleep - Food.
Good luck
