GMAN- do not try adderall. you will be insanely addicted and depressed from sniffing it all the time for the next 2 years of your life. From your future, amphetamine addicted self.
I was prescribed it at 28 years old for my finally undiagnosed ADD. Which is real. I am pretty bad ADD.
Adderall at 10mg IR a day was heaven on Earth.
When I started snorting it. I can't remember. I know about 5-6 months in I was getting 30mg a day and running out 3-4 days early that was when I first noticed the WDs.
By year one i was getting 50mg a day.
Sometime right after that I lost my job. Unrelated to adderall.
That's when I started to rail it always unless my nose was clogged.
It's a totally different animal when your blowing it up your nose. It was t long before I was getting 72ct 20mg ir tabs and blowing thru them in 10-14 days staying up for 40-50 hrs at a time.
I would go 10, 14, even 20 days in between doctor visits and everytime the WD were horrible. Sleeping 12-16 hrs a day, no motivation, no energy, just getting a shower or cooking a meal felt like moving mtns.
Over the second week it would get better but very slowly and desire, notivation, and energy were always the slowest to return.
By day 14-20 the serotogenic response came back much faster then the fight or flight response. Laughing, crying, general emotions. But I would get excited for that next bottle. Tell myself it will be different this time.
Nope. I would swallow pill number 1. Then it was off to the races. After 14-20 days off the stuff the first few days would kind of be like old times. But by day 3 it was like my tolerance went insane.
I think I stayed up for 30 hrs the first day every time.
I finally had enough shame and embarrassment and I quit almost 4 months ago. I got my last script. By then I was down to 30mg a day over 5 weeks I would blow thru it in two weeks. My WD were eased a bit from the lower doses and large breaks between binges. 2-3 weeks.
It took about 2 months+ for me to get closer to normal energy and motivation wise.
Being 100% honest eventually you don't care or think about it anymore.
I rarely think of adderal now. And when I do I can't remember how it felt. It was like I was a different person living a different life on it.
Some of the ADD tendency have come back but ill never go back to Stims like that again.
Took enuf of my life then and probably years later.
I would probably be a millionaire by now!
