I've been taking adderall around 120-140mg a day for 2 months and was curious just how long withdrawal will last. I've been through opiate withdrawal hydrocodone and tramadol but the fatigue from the addy withdrawal is terrible. It's Friday morning now and my last dose of adderall was Monday night. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And yes I know I abuse them and now I have to pay the consequences I understand all of that all I am curious about is how long the withdrawal will last. thanks

I wouldn't call it withdrawal per-sae, you have burned up your dopamine receptors. No one is going to be able to give you an accurate time table. I still feel the effects of my amphetamine abuse years after, but you will probably be depressed anywhere from a month to 3 months, ball parking it.
If any one gives you a more definite time table, its pulled out their ass, just like mine.
I know you probably dont feel like doing anything, but exercise will help, make yourself do it.
But yeah, careful with your dopamine drugs (speed), its more fragile than serotonin (opiates) , cant take as much abuse before its irreparable.
And yes its a simplification, but a proper one.

Like I said, no one can give you an accurate time table. 120mgs a day for 2 months is not insignificant, and your going to feel it. I repeat myself, I STILL feel my amphetamine abuse years after I stopped.
Ya but is that even really
Possible? I'm not denying your experience but does your body actually never heal from that and by feel the abuse what exactly do you mean like you just feel fatigued or depressed? Still not understanding how it's possible psychologically.

So to put it in one word, motivation. Prior to my amphetamine abuse I was motivated to pursue hobbies, was much more outgoing in general. Concentration is an issue. Of course my anecdote dosint mean much in terms of being applicable to all, but I only have my experience to draw from. There may also be other issues, I have only VERY recently gotten sober from all substances, perhaps I will regain my motivation, perhaps not.
Anywho, as I was saying, the 120mg/day two month habit is not insignificant. I nor anyone will be able to give you an accurate timeline, but in my experience it will probably take you around 2-3 months to feel normal again.
