I have ADHD, and am prescribed Focalin XR. My therapeutic dose is 20 mg, and I have railed up to 40 mg before. I haven't really abused this drug on a lot of numerous occasions (maybe just in the single digits?). I have stopped taking the drug altogether (I've been off of it for a few days now) because I have decided that I'm not going to abuse it anymore. I found out that I am basically screwing myself by snorting this drug, as long as I want to use it for my ADHD. If I want to get my tolerance back where it needs to be to use it therapeutically again, how long do I need to stay off the drug? Will it go down if I start taking the pill as instructed, or do I need to just stop taking it altogether? As I said, I haven't been abusing it for a long time.
What do you recommend I do? I won't die without it in school, but last week when I didn't take it, I was back to my regular loudmouth, hyperactive self and my friends noticed it. My friend who takes Concerta said it was very obvious I didn't take my meds.
