I'm prescribed Adderall IR 10mg/ 4 times a day (40 mg total daily) for a couple of months now. I tried once in the past to take more than prescribed to feel the euphoric feeling. It never happened. I've been wondering why I can't seem to feel this euphoric feeling that everyone talks about. Yesterday I was feeling down and decided I wanted to try again. I started out with 30mg in the morning, then every 2 hours I took more. Some doses up to 50mg. By 7pm I lost track of how many I'd taken throughout the day but I'm pretty sure it was about 250mg. Never once feeling the euphoric feeling that everyone talks about. Yes, I was extremely focused, but not "high".
Here is my concern: The first time I took more than prescribed and ran out early, I suffered severe depression with crying spells. Not considering this yesterday, I am now horrified that's going to happen to me again.
Here is my question: I'm obviously going to run out early again this month. I have 21 pills left (10mg/ea). If I continue taking my normal daily dose of 40mg, I will run out approximately 2 weeks early. I would like some advice, if I should taper off as slow as possible with those 21 pills (and how many per each day), or should I just stop taking them cold turkey now? The only reason I would even consider picking up another refill is so that I could taper off slower as recommended.
Positive comments only please, preferably only from those who have experienced the same or are educated on the matter. I'd also like to avoid any lectures regarding addiction. Thank you for your support.
