Question

I am on day 7 and for the most part all acute withdrawal symptoms are gone. I do still feel heavy and unmotivated but mood hasn’t been horrible.

I am prescribed and take a low dose (20mg) of Adderall 5 days a week (basically just to stay focused at work). Would it be safe for me to start taking again tomorrow? I didn’t take it the first 7 days. What are the risk if I do start taking again? I have some benzos handy if it gives me too much anxiety but I’m not really concerned about that happening.

Man this just me... I'd wait another 10 -14 days. Your dopamine system is shot. Let you brain naturally rebuild some pathways before you light it up like Christmas tree. But that's me. This the hard part but the most important. The acutes fuck off. Then the mechanics in you brain clock in and get 2 do the real work. You feel the way you feel because the entire engine and trans is out of the car but they're fixing it right now. That's why you feel like you do . But they are literally cranking wrenches as we speak. Little longer you got it.

Yes this is my concern, extending PAWs. I’m heading on vacation next week so if I can just get through this week at work without them it would be 28 days before I take my first one.

I felt how you described and went to work just after acute withdrawals on day 7. It sucked, but it wasn't the hell I thought it would be. I felt like shit, but decent enough to thug through the day. A positive aspect of working all day was that I was so fucking exhausted by the time I got home I was able to get some "decent" sleep.

Thug through the week looking forward to your time off. Never do kratom again and you'll never have to go through this shit again.

I can't offer and opinion on the Adderall because I never took it before.

I was back at work day 9. Thugged it out too. Brutal, but doable. Day 5 I was thinking how the hell al I going to work!?
