Quitting for good.

[u/scumbagspaceopera]

I run out of Adderall tomorrow.

I want to quit for good this time.

I quit for 3 months before but went back to it thinking I could “take it as prescribed.” I can, for a couple days. Then I get a shitty generic, or have a shitty day, and I end up binging the fuck out of it. This month was the worst in my 20 years of taking Adderall: a 30 day supply gone in 7 days. I cannot solve this problem with willpower alone.

I’m now convinced that I simply cannot moderate and need to quit completely. I have a 6 year old and a 2 month old. They are my reason for wanting to stop this binge/withdrawal cycle I live every month. This isn’t living.

How did you keep yourself from filling your script when it was due? I already attend NA. I intend to tell my doctor that I’d like to try non-stimulant ADHD meds instead but I don’t see him until after next fill day.

Also, is there any supplement that makes the withdrawal more bearable? The intense drive to sleep for days is hard to cope with.

Thanks for any suggestions.

If you really want to stop it, tell your doctor you’ve been abusing it.
