I have been using amphetamines off and on for years with little problems until last July, when someone suggest snorting the Adderall. It hadn't been working as well lately and I'd upped the dosage from 30 mgs 2x a day to anywhere from 90 - 150 a day and it had lost it's magic. So I was desperate to get it back so I started snorting almost every day until it got to every day and I liked the feeling. The problem is I started to use even more and wasn't getting much feeling from it for very long. I tried to plug it and nothing happened. I've heard so much about plugging I couldn't understand why I had felt nothing. So I gave that up.

Went back to orally, crushing it up and eating it, combination of oral, snorting. It helped but no more real recreational high.

It got worse...I ran out yesterday and slept from 9 last night to 10 this morning. I have no ambition, no drive, depressed as hell. And I have a family including three kids. Here it is Sunday and I am useless. I can't refill until at least a week from now but someone I know said tomorrow I could get some adderall or ritalin from them. I hope they are for real because I have to work and I don't know if I am going to make it. I went through this before for about three days or so and I was absolutely dragging. No fun at all for myself and those around me. It sucked.

Here I am back in the same position. I've tried holistic ADD drugs. They may help a tiny bit but nothing major. I tried taking more kpins than my usual dose 1mg 2x a day and they took the edge off but made me sleepy.

I know this question has been posted umpteen times and I apologize, but I couldn't find the thread and I not functioning well and want no one to know what is going on. When I get the amphetamines I plan to start my slow tapering program of cutting down he dose slowly and cutting down the snorting (which I love cause it reminds me of my fun coke days) until I can manage the dose I was prescribed. If I fail, I will either ask for dexedrine or maybe try to quit altogether. But I don't want to do it cold turkey because it will just hurt everyone around me and screw up my life for weeks.

Is there anything else I can take until I get the amphetamines back? I wish I never started them but now it's kinda late.

Please, anybody, help!
 
Amphetamine withdrawal is mainly psychological. To that end, the only things I can think of that would help would be caffeine or maybe some Sudafed.

Maybe this is a wake-up call for you.
 
You need some Xanax or Valium, uppers will just bum you out man, stay off that Adderall shit, try to score some xanny bars or Valium, or even some dank weed. it will help you get thru what your going thru trust me, or atleast help.

who knows,i may be wrong. i have no experience with adderall anyway.

i think you have to be honest with yourself. would you really be picking them up to taper off, or just to keep the addiction going? i think if you really want to quit, now would be the perfect time as your already out of pills and withdrawling. it wont be any easier et the end of the next pill bottle.

good luck.
 
you can eat the cotton inside of benzedrex inhalers

blech

they are comparable to adderall

comparable to addy? You sure on that? What would you say is a rough equivalence (mgs of adderall) to 1 benzedrex?
 
150mg benzedrex is roughly equal to 15-20mg of amphetamine.

It's got a different charachter of it's own, but it's quite good. Everyone goes so freaking high with it- try a low dose (extracted) and you might actually enjoy it.

Definitely not for binging, though.

I have thought about that in all honesty. Of course there is a side that wants to continue as usual but there are lots of times that I really and truly want to stop this cycle. Especially when I saw what withdrawal does to you. I did get some Ritalin yesterday after three days of horrible withdrawal. It isn't as potent as Adderall but it is very helpful. I have gone down from 120-150 to 100-120. I hope I can do it but I do have ADD and am a disorganized mess when I am not on amphetamines so I hope I can get down to a therapeutic oral dose and no more illicit use. Thanks for your input.

I am confused about you saying it is mainly psychological because my withdrawal was soooo physically horrid. I agree that much of it must be psychological but with what I went through physically was equally as bad. I slept twice as much as usual, if not more and I had body aches and stiffness like I had a weak type of flu. Could be that while on it a person does more and rests less and then when its not in your system you realize you can't do that with normal energy? I don't know. Even on it I sometimes do very little.
 
Addylover Hey I know the feeling man.. Grab a bottle of l-tyrosine and pop them every couple hours, it'll help restore the dopamine and norephinephrine levels in your head and make you feel better usually right away. also some pseudoephedrine, like 60mg every 2 hours keeps me motivated when I don't have any adderall. mixed with tyrosine and a steady intake of caffine and it'll give you a nice but subtle speed-like buzz.

if ya still feel lazy, mentally cloudy and unmotivated after all that, try some phosphatidylcholine or lecithin..
 
I dunno how much choline products are gonna help with mental cloudiness coming off amphetamine w/d..
 
for gods sake dont eat the inside of benzedrix.

its KIND OF like adderall, but unless youre gonna SHOOT HEROIN to come down, expect SEVERAL hours of ABSOLUTE MISERY.

this is coming from someone who was in the same boat as you for a while... i started with ritalin and ended up taking doses 500mg+ of dexedrine within a year to get spun.

w/d is hell. benzos help, DO NOT RUN OUT. (that combination seriously, seriously sucks!!!)

dont abuse your benzos, use them to take the edge off your depression.

enjoy the things you can do again, like eat and sleep well. this really helped me, remembering how good it is to eat...

sleeping for a whole 10-12 hours is pretty cool too.

...yea, it takes time to recover. the hardest part is the depression, but like i said, benzos help with that.
 
Don't worry, I don't plan on inhaling cotton from whatever that was called! And I do have clonazepam, which is something I do not abuse. I also got ritalin and its helped though not to the degree of adderall.

The reason I ran out so quickly is I was not taken care of by a friend I helped out last week. I thought I was going to be "reimbursed" yesterday but she's ignored my emails and my phone calls.

My advice is not to help another addict unless you can afford to go without, even your friends. An addict is too greedy to care about your problems.
 
^i respectfully say "duh!"

good luck with your addiction. now you know better than to give a tweaker money/drugs for any reason.

ain't that the truth! The person who used to get opiates for me and some people was quite addicted, it would constantly be a scenario where they'd call back like 2 days later to see if there was any left they could buy back!!!! (yes, even at higher prices!)
 
How do Benzo's help amphetamine W/D?

Several people have suggested Benzo's to help the OP with W/D from Adderall. I do NOT understand how Benzo's will help the OP with the lack of energy and lack of motivation she is having.

When I ran out of stimulants in the past, the things that helped were:
Redbull, Caffiene, Coffee, Tyrosine, Phenylalanine, sudafed, more coffee, force myself to get a little exercise like walking, more coffee, REDBULL and coffee. (Sorry for spelling errors).

Benzo's would not help relieve fatigue, lack of energy and lack of motivation for me, but thats just IMO.
 
^They would help greatly, especially with the depression. That's why benzos are so amazingly good for coke comedowns.
