I probably have about 20 15mg IRs left, my script is for 90 a month.
Yes, I know, I've already searched the forums for how to make the comedown easier but there's just so much information.

What should I do re: tapering off and getting my body back in functioning order?

Thanks for all of your advice. Good lookin' out. <3
 
Just stop and get some sleep. Take a benzo if you have one. You don't need to taper.

Use the rest of your script sparingly.
 
I was up for 5 days, on adderall, was ready to call it quits so I took 200mg of Seroquel. Apparently, I was talking really loud and animated in my sleep for hours. It's like my brain and body were speeding, but I was sleeping. Whoa, man. Heavy.
The next night I took at Trazadone along with the Seroquel and I was OUT and didn't wake up until noon. Aww yeah.
 
Seroquel is a terrible sleep aid. Trazodone is an awesome one.

I was on 200mg Seroquel for a couple weeks, and I was sleeping 13 hours a day of very non-restful sleep.

Now I do 100mg Trazodone most nights to get to sleep, and aside from occasionally tripping minor balls from the metabolite mCPP if I something wakes me up a couple hours in, it causes no side effects.

I'm non-24 hour circadian rhythm naturally (closer to 26), so I have a lot of trouble keeping a schedule. I prefer Modafinil to get me up in the morning and Trazodone to put me to sleep at night. Good combo. =D

Don't bother tapering, just blow them to the last and cold turkey. Adderall is not like with opioids, and in fact, taking a low dose of Adderall might actually give you migraines! In which case, taking none is a better option.

I use nicotine gum to complement ADD medication. If you really got ADD and you don't pretend you have it it'll do the job.
 
Damn...can't imagine how you would abuse Dexedrine or Meth. Lol.

From a have sex point of view, Adderall is Jim Carrey and Dexedrine is Brad Pitt LOL

Just letting you know that the abuse is not too bad, I don't think it will influence your health in any way...only the pill count. You are taking more then prescribed, yes, but...you administer orally, you use pharmaceutically pure compound and take doses under 150mg/day so it's all good.
 
Sorry dude, she has taken 70 pills in 5 days. That makes ~210mg/day so it's not all good. But not thaaaaaaat bad.

Everyone makes mistakes, now you have to proof yourself, that you can learn from them.
 
Woahhhh, pump the fucking brakes or you're going to lose whatever traction you have left. Adderall?! I always sort of thought of it as being self-regulating because the dirty levo isomer produces some of the nastiest side effects that most people find unbearable, and therefore would naturally stop redosing when it only induces more discomfort and anxiety, insomnia, anorexia, etc.

You definitely don't need to taper with Adderall.... That's one of the few benefits of amphetamines, in terms of withdrawals, there basically are none, and it's usually a mix of psychological/physiological symptoms ranging from absolutely no withdrawal symptoms at all, to mild to moderate lethargy, general loss of motivation, feeling like you have no energy, maybe some cravings here or there but my experiences with Adderall were negative, 90% of the time. Although I didn't ever abuse it to the extent of amphetamine psychosis, I think that out of all the forms of speed available in North America, Adderall (Pharmaceutical grade Amphetamine, with the isomers at a 3:1 ratio of dextro : levoamphetamine) is the most likely to cause, or, quickest to induce amphetamine psychosis compared to other common forms of speed such as pure dextroamphetamine, dextromethamphetamine, etc due to the dirty levo isomer causing so much unwanted stimulation on your PNS (Peripheral Nervous System) causing side effects and not desired effects.

200+ is in the nerve damage zone...but I don't think she damaged anything or she would have felt it in an obvious manner...like pins&needles on the face/arms, loss of memory, difficulty to find everyday words etc.

That's why it's best to pop these when people are around because they can notice when you start hurting yourself.
 
have a trusted friend or loved one hold your remaining pills and ration them to help you level off.

I recommend not refilling your prescription, as it seems this is a bad situation for you. Work hard and in a few weeks you will be feeling much better and be more confident that you don't need to depend on adderall to feel ok. Good luck.

wow that is extreme.
This doesn't seem to be a good med for you.
Even if you do have ADD or ADHD, this is much more harmful. Sometimes it ends up being wiser to tough-through some issues than to treat them medically with addictive drugs that test our willpower.
 
Exercise, eat, sleep, vitamins, etc. Stay away from the Adderall until you're ready to use it as prescribed. There is no physical withdrawal so there's no real reason to taper.

Is there any actual evidence that levoamphetamine is more likely to produce psychosis than the dextro isomer? I guess all the extra PNS stimulation can cause more insomnia and therefore sleep-deprivation which often accompanies amphetamine psychosis, but that doesn't mean the levoamphetamine is more likely to cause psychosis in itself.

And if the added levoamphetamine makes adderall abuse 'self limiting' in a sense, wouldn't that reduce the chance of psychosis?
 
Watch out for the serotonine syndrome though...if your head starts to buzz, you get dizzy, disoriented and palpitating, STOP medication intake and dial 911, since attempting to make it for the ER is wishful thinking.

what has the OP listed in this thread that would cause them to even need to worry about serotonin syndrome?
none of the drugs that the OP listed, even in combination (adderall + seroquel + trazodone) have a likelihood of causing serotonin syndrome.
 
You're fine, but be careful with Adderall and mindful of danger. Sounds like a panic attack. A friend of mine is new to Adderall binge, but he is learning fast. It seems everyone is a little different with regard to dose and tolerance. I can take a lot, but large doses are NOT prudent and in fact are dangerous. First day 120 mg IR, second 150 mg, third 180, 200, max 330 on eight day, empty bottle, Thurs 8am - Thursday 8pm, 60 x 30 mg (1,800 mg) party over until time for refill. Withdraw, 1st 24 hrs not so bad, 2nd anxiety, 3-5 days mild depression, anxiety, low energy, Day 5 better, Day 7 equilibrium, 9 baseline normal, Once a month cycle.
 
200+ is in the nerve damage zone...

This has sparked a bit of curiosity in me. I'm experienced but no pharmacist and additionally as a user i find it strange that i've never heard this before. Even more scary to me because i've take 330 mg today and not all of it orally, 160 oral and 170 insufflated. I feel fine but how likely is this to happen to someone with medium - high tolerance?
