So long story should I’ve been prescribed adderall for about 9 months. I don’t really need it but I’ve been using it more than I’d like to recently. I was first prescribed 10mg xr a day and now I am prescribed 60mg a day, one IR and one XR.
I was originally using it as a weekend thing to get stuff done or just feel good honestly, usually in one 30mg dose. For the past month I’ve been taking 60mg a day unfortunately, and was wondering if I needed to taper or if I should just cold turkey? I have plenty to taper since i am prescribed 60mg a day and was only taking 30mg twice a week for awhile. My goal is to get the usage back down to once or twice a week as I have been losing too much weight. I also don’t really feel anything from it anymore other then a slight mood boost for about an hour.
I have had withdrawal from a doctor prescribed Ativan dose before and managed it, and I know benzo withdrawal is hell on earth compared to just adderall. I just don’t want to unnecessarily suffer if I don’t have to, since I don’t want to quit just want to cut back.
So my question does anyone have a taper suggestion for my dose? I am also curious how long i should take a break for, as well as how frequently I can use to to regain some of the effects it use to have. I do not expect the original magic to come back but I’d like to at least get some of the positive effects back. Thanks for the help.
