Help for Adderall Withdrawal...please

I had a really bad amphetamine binge this week, losing over 5o hrs. of sleep, twitching, real tweaked, ect. ect, and now i am more depressed than I have ever been in my life and its been two days since I did that.

Has anyone ever felt delayed effects after something like this?
And, if so what did you tell yourself to cheer up?
 
i get 60 20mg adderall a month for about a year now, i usually run out in a week so i fill up the rest of the month with a couple benzedrex and maybe a box of bronkaid if im really unmotivated , but i mostly just eat a bunch and sleep alot for the first week im out then find other shit to do untill i get my script filled again, just dont let it get to you too much and tough it out i guess. the thing about amphetamines is that it really is mostly in your head because tolerance builds so quicky by the second day of your binge your really not gettin "high" anymore your just stayin awake, you could try pluggin them too it may help your supply last a lil longer cuz you should only need about half the dosage(in theory) good luck
 
The best I can suggest for addy withdrawal is benzos at just a little above therapeutic doses, and/or a supply of some stoney indica buds. When I had a script and easy access to extra pills I took 30 - 150mg a day for nearly 2 and a half years. Then one day after I caught a drug charge I went into my next appointment for a refill and my doc automatically cut me off cold turkey. That shit sucked, the next two weeks were hell. Extreme depression and even worse anxiety than normal, some soreness and a badass headache. Good luck man, let us know how you fare.
 
DO NOT switch to benzos.

maybe get some ritalin/focalin and taper down with that? obviously you can drink coffee/tea and get some motivation/energy back... but this should be a nice reality slap for you, 90-150mg of amphetamine a day is extremely unhealthy, and will cause amphetamine psychosis as well as make you look like a 98 lb tweaker... obviously not everyone gets Amp-psychosis, but i wouldn't risk it, and i know a girl who took about half the doses your taking for a year or two and is pretty psychotic now and has to take geodon and seroquel and shit like that so she isn't totally nuts...

but anyway to the OP - smoke pot, have a beer or two, and drink some red bull or coffee or tea (caffeine should help a lot)

try to get some ritalin/focalin or maybe modafinal.... but also think about whats going on in your life...
 
ok! When you start doing amphetamines the first thing do is to make sure you got a steady supply of amphetamine of your choice available.

When this becomes a problem you must make sure you got a steady supply of benzos available.
 
Thanks for the Advice

Thanks everyone for the advice.

I did get some Ritalin and a small amount of Adderall. I am taking about one 20 mg pill of Adderall a day orally but I am snorting the Ritalin. I probably take about 5 20 mg ritalins a day so it's not much of an improvement.

As for pot, I hate it. I just sleep on it and I have school age children and a job so it's been tough to stop because whenever I run out of the amphetamines I can't function at all for weeks.

My question is I've heard about some kind of herbal plant that is supposed to give you a euphoric type of feeling. Is it Kratom? I've heard it's easy to get and cheaper than many other recreational substances.

Can anyone tell me about this or whatever it is called? It's supposed to resemble hydrocodone, which I like alot, but rarely get any to take. I was wondering what experiences anyone has had or if it is a good alternative to what I've been doing.

Thanks...maybe Ill search for a post on this
 
I wouldn't call it a good alternative to hydro.

Also wouldn't call it cheap by any means.
 
kratom does feel like an opioid.

its not an alternative and it isnt cheap.

why dont you use this as an opportunity to get off the amps?

i know its hell, but the de-motivation/depression only last about 2 weeks, then youre home free.

and what a nice feeling that is... :)

also, to EOJ, benzos CERTAINLY help in this situation. if i didnt have my valium to help get me through the depression, id have probably gone out and scored (more) meth...
 
ya whoever was posting that seemed to think the benzos were helping energy or something - they just help the crazies that are w/d's.

And kratom, shit there are some here who find it very cool, I can't explain how disappointed I was. And sick lol.
 
I have experience with this sort of problem, specifically with amphetamines, and I would suggest just drinking more caffeine or some other mild stimulant. I drank plenty of Red Bull and plenty of coffee (which I did in the first place, I just started drinking more of it) and that helped a little bit.

Other than that, just try to forget about it and have fun with the family, stay away from that adderall, your sleep cycle will return to normal soon!

Good Luck!
 
not trying to minimize your problems, really, but adderall wds? i dunno. smoke a joint, have a beer, and thank god you're not withdrawing from opiates...right?
 
Kratom is pretty cheap, around $5 for a high dose. It can be sedating, stimulating, or both. It's one of the better herbal products out there. PM me if you need a link to a vendor.

adderall = amphetamine, not trying to minimize your knowledge but that can quite the w/d depending on dosages someone was used to.

Dude that is terrible advice. "Okay if you want to have a good time, make sure you've got everything set up to be hopelessly addicted for a long time"
I feel for you dude. And it's good you don't abuse your bezo's. That is not going to help. That will turn you into a poly-substance abuser trying to balance yourself one way or the other with no way to tolerate the in betweens. The only advice i can give is any friends you may have who don't use speed, call them, get some green if thats what you're into, and just ride it out. The time will pass much more quickly with friends by your side, and the more time you put between you and the speed, the better. When you remember what normality feels like – this can take a while - the easier it is to accept. I was a speed freak for a long time, and not even 8 months inpatient treatment worked for me. I had to remember what life was and why I enjoyed it before that shit. Good luck. P/M me if you want to, I’ve been there.
 
Adderall Withdrawal...

Thanks for very sound advice, blue/greenlighters!

I am doing much better. I had surgery and am thinking that it was a good thing because now at home recovering I don't need much speed. I have a small supply of opiates for pain and I haven't abused them for some odd reason. No more adderall. Couldn't get anymore and told the doc some of what was going on. I really wanted off of them. Im on ritalin and will take strattera soon. Ive stopped snorting since the surgery and I swore I will not do it again. My lungs filled up with fluid after the surgery and they don't need any more stress from snorting and intranasal fluid. I know that when all is well again I will want to abuse something again. But my intranasal use is gone. I think the adderall I will miss but it wasn't working well anyway and there was never enough of it so might as well get off the merry go round now.

Good luck to all of you. Bluelight is the best and the people are among some of the smartest and most empathetic people on the face of the Earth!<3

Congrats! I've been addicted to benzo, amps and opiates. It can be a hell of depression and w/ds are no joke when w/ding even if it's only amps (not to downplay it at all). If you've gotten through the toughest part, you're a person with great willpower so just keep it up and remember how much it's not worth it if you get cravings. I have no real input expect to congratulate you and tell you that strattera doesn't agree with some people (from anecdotal experience of me and people I've talked to). So, if Strattera doesn't work, I'm sure you're smart enough not to jump back to adderall, some people do though and it puts them back in that cycle, so that's just a simple warning. If ritalin works and you try straterra and you hate it, just got back to ritalin or nothing. Again, well done and keep on keepin' on!
