Speaking, more like pleading, to any life long ADDers out there whom have been battle axing their way through life not only from being bred with a discouraging disorder like ADD or ADHD, but also navigating their way through the fuck show of medications over the years at an attempt to quiet the head and steady the nerves. I've been a subscriber to the stimulant scene since my late teens and now, at the (slightly wiser) old afew of 47 I find myself helplessly and shamelessly addicted to what once completely reinvented my life and how I viewed the world. Full disclosure: I am a recovering alcoholic and cocaine addict. Most definitely should never have been prescribed a Class 2 in the first place but someone with a higher degree than myself portrayed me as a self medicator (no shit?!) and, if properly medicated, I would not need booze and blow. Turns out bitch nee her shit because it was nothing but rainbows and rowboats after quitting drinking (not that hard) and doing blow (hard as fuck). For 2 years I took a little peach oval 20mg Adderall IR when I woke up and never had so much as a scratchin for more. Until I did. Work hours got longer. Tolerance got higher. Introduce the XR with a small IR bump to avoid the dreaded crash. Dexedrine XR with a Focalyn IR bumb in the morning and an Adderall bump in the afternoon. Now I'm taking benzos and Nyquil to sleep, only to wake up and reach for the script. Downside is that my doc is a bit of a friend so he has a hard time saying no when I want to up my script but he def does if i come at him with too much. My last request was 60mg Vyvanse with a 20mg Adderall IR bumb. Apologies for the chronology of my predicament. Bottom line is, as of today I have a script for 60mg Vyvanse and 10mg Adderall IR. I picked up on the 2nd of this month. In 4 days I blew through 300mg of Adderall (the whole months script) and 1020mg Vyvanse. Avg 330mg stim per day. And still holding. Not a firm grip, but still definitely full grasp. Business is killing it. Social life.. let's just say I'd rather crunch numbers and contemplate the differing war strategies in Ukraine. With lots of adderall close by.
And finally, to my point and, ultimately, my question to you seasoned professionals. Is there any hope for me of turning this ship around and getting back to the early days when it was my friend not my foe? If I can steer clear of IR stimulants, I seem to do much better but the duration always renders the need for at 10mg to avoid the crash. I hear Mydaysis is a 16 hour ride. Can anyone confirm that? I love to hate this stimulant world but the hate part is wearing me the fuck out and I want to kiss and make up or I want the fuck off the train. Anyone been there and found an alternative to stimulants for ADD?
Mad respect if you made it to the end of this tirade and even more if you take the time to respond. Well wishes all around, my friends. Be safe out there.
