Good morning all,
I got myself into a difficult situation and I'm desperately asking for your help. I'm working now and will make this as shortened as possible to get to the point.
Around 3 months ago I started using adderall to help me get things done after my work day. I didn't read enough on dosage and just took it til it felt good. Used to be addicted to intranasal heroin around 3 years ago, so I do have an addictive personality. This adderall use turned into a habit, and for the past 3 months straight I've been taking high doses of adderall. Usually around 120mg a day (stupid, I know.). I decided I want to stop taking them, so I cut back to 60mg for the week and will drop to 30 next week, treating it similar to an opiate taper.
During my couple of months of binging I was sleeping 4 hours a night on average. Since I dropped the dose in half, I have been getting 6-8 hours but I wake up extremely hazy and confused most mornings. Keep in mind I was typically dosing strictly in the evenings. The first couple of mornings I legitimately was sleep walking after my alarm went off with only partial consciousness. It wouldn't be until my alarm woke me up a second time that I would be conscious enough to comprehend what was happening around me. This has started getting slightly better, I get up every morning at 530am to get ready for work, but I'm wondering if this is a normal occurrence? I end up being so tired first thing in the morning that I need 3 separate alarm clocks to get me out of bed. I'll briefly fall asleep while standing up, have trouble s staying awake driving to work (I work in a luxury car line, professional setting), fall asleep at my desk, etc. Once I take a dose of adderall and drink a coffee I'm back to functioning, but the first half hour of my morning is kind of scary.
I want to know if there's anything I can do to help this, and if this is expected when coming off of a high dose of this shit. I currently take supplements to try to help with brain fog. Those consist of ground mushroom capsules (lions mane), rhodiola. GABA, 5htp, mens multivitamin, L-Tyrosine, fish oil, ashwaganda, vitamin b12, vitamin d. They seem to help during the day, and I'm committed to continuing to taper off of this shit entirely, I'm really just seeking peace of mind that this is normal at this point. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it, and thank you so much for your time today.
Love and light
