Provigil (Possibly worth it) to stop amps.

I just read post and its all over the place. Bottom line, Provigil worked for me to stop taking RX stimulants for adhd.

Ive had an rx (almost forced on me for 10 years.) for adderall, pure dex, ritalin. The usual suspects. I, for many reasons just don't want to take amps anymore. Im kind of a pansy when it comes to drug withdrawls. Ive been paying criminal amounts of money to get just a few provigil here and there when Im really tired, which has always been the situation leading me to pop one of my 1000(or it seems) pills from my left over RX's that I have collected of every pharm stimulant, and go back on them. Im tired of that and it made me drop 30 lbs, took away my creativity. Bottom line, in my experience, Provigil (name brand generic, what a crock), had made NOT taking amps pretty easy. My doctor told my insurance company that it was for one of the conditions (there are two that will get my insurance to pay) and its still almost enough to keep me from treatment.

Its been two weeks and my creativity is coming back, AMPS made me extrelemly anti-social over time. I still get the verbal diarrhea sometimes, but I sing in the car again. Unless Im in school, I actually enjoy ADD. Its who I am.

I encourage people who want to get over the hump, talk to your doctor about trying pro or nuvigil. IMO. It worked for me.

P.S Ive been paying the criminals at cephalon (I mean great company) for three weeks. I understand that withdrawal is different for other people. But Ive had the Rx for years but hardly took it EVERY DAY. I was quite inconsistent. But no more than two days without amps on average.



With such a high relapse rate for addiction (which is a different animal), and for you who realize that your amp usage is more than you would like, I really think this is worth a shot.
ALSO USE ALL THE OTHER SEARCH ENGINES for supplements such as magnesium, Phenylephrine, tyrosine, etc...because with provgil as an adjunct to other strategies. It can be done. You'll feel better, I promise its worth it. Plus you get a much better effect if you only take amps once a month partying or some other reason.

I hope this helps someone. I'm also interested if anyone else has done or tried this.

I have a monster bottle of stims that just sit there, but actually being at a point where I look at it as a party supply bottle, instead of taking a pill cuz my body is used to it is wonderful. I DO HAVE A RX for Klonopin for siezures and low dose of bupe but dont think that matters too much.

Im not taking too much time to proofread. I can clarify if needed. But Im just trying to get my point across.

Modafinil is alright, it will help I bet, I'm not sure how modafinil compares to amps in terms of providing concentration . Modafinil is more of s "wakefullnes promoter" than a classical stimulant, and it definitely helps you feel awake and not tired well, and I think it helped me do my homework, but it has no euphoria at all. Maybe a slight mood lift but that's it.

Amps on the other hand provide extreme euphoria, and definitely keeps you awake and amps make you want to do shot lolol.
