Hey all,
I have been prescribed dexamphetamine 25mg/day for a year now. At first it helped me focus and concentrate better. It made me feel like wanting to do good and motivation levels were sky high.
I was not taking the drug regularly, but only when I thought I needed it(exams, high pressure events, stressful moments etc.)
After a short time of being sober, I realised how well I actually functioned. I decided I don't need the medication anymore. There were upsides but there are also downsides to using. And I realised that my sober self is good enough to make it through. So I decided to quit.
And this has proved itself to be much harder than I anticipated.
To be honest, it goes like this: I stay sober for 3 maybe 4 weeks and then I end up using again and feeling sorry afterwards. And this has classic earmarks of addiction. I use when I know it is, at first, not necessary and secondly, sometimes the comedowns are so horrible.
So basically, I would appreciate any help/advice/criticism from any of you that might help me get over this.
On a side note, I have a great education. I have got a really sweet girlfriend. I eat healthy foods and go to the gym regularly.
I think I am going to get rid of all amps in my house now.
I need to break the pattern.
Thank you.
