4 months ago I was prescribed 10mg of Evekeo twice a day. I was taking it normally at first, but every 4 weeks Ive been binging 100mg-200mg (and one time at 400mg, yikes)
Ever since the first binge Ive been doing a combination of taking weekend breaks, taking half my prescribed dose on weekdays, and taking a week off completely on two separate occasions
Also these past 4 months I?ve been supplementing everyday with Chelated Magnesium Glycinate, 100mg protein, multivitamin gummies, and a few weeks ago I was taking l-tyrosine and 5-htp during my 9 day break
The problem is 2 weeks ago the Evekeo was only working for an hour or 2, and then I would be extremely fatigued and foggy. So I binged 100mg (like an idiot) and then took a 9 day break. After that the Evekeo worked for about 3 hours and would leave me with only slight fatigue. And after a week of normal usage I binged 150mg yesterday
I?m completely fed up with myself and the situation. I?m a recovered (not anymore I suppose) drug addict with ADD, and this medication has been a huge help. But I?m ruining my body and my chances of this medication helping me every time I take more than I?m supposed to
I plan on taking a 4 week break and asking my doc to prescribe me Adderall XR or Vyvanse instead
But I?ve been googling a lot and apparently tolerance is permanent, at least according to all the forum posts I?ve seen.
So what should I do to get back on the right track? I don?t want ?the magic? or mental rush back. Just the energy and general intestest in life I gained
