@@marshallstrander3922 thank you for asking! It went okay, I did indeed stop the adderall and it was just awful. The withdrawals were extremely intense. I've dealt with substance abuse issues for so long, so many years. Today, I am 11 days sober from everything. No weed, booze, or pills. Recovery is probably one of the hardest things to overcome, and to anyone who reads this, please know that you are not alone and that it will get better. Stay busy. Don't think too much, just commit to your new life and trust that it will get better. Things will feel raw (they do for me as I type this) and it may feel like you've lost part of your identity. There will absolutely be times that you are triggered, but find strength in whatever you can to make it through. For me, things were very boring at first, like nothing was sentimental anymore. But it will come back, and it will be more meaningful when you can find the things that do feel sentimental again. It will get better

You are a God send. I have been feeling so alone with the fear of withdrawal. 8 years of Addys. I am losing all my passion for everything. I’m so tired. Thank you! So much!!!!

Thank you for this. “Maybe I wasn’t effective and I was just crazy, but I liked it” that’s the trap I always fall into. Thinking it helps me when it actually doesn’t at all; it’s just anxiety and crazy repetitive shit

Started taking Adderall a year ago cuz my bros had extra supply. Before that I used it once or twice a week and everything was fine. When I used it I was super productive and that was it. Once I had more access I started using everyday all the time. A year later now I realize how much of a negative impact it’s had on me. My sense of creativity is washed out. So many things that made me content in life before just do nothing for me anymore. I used to exercise all the time. Now I never do Probably about two months of me having days where my brain is just completely and utterly not working and feeling like I have CTE or something has made me realize I must stop this shit before I go down an even deeper hole that will effect me for the rest of my life.

My Dr was SO quick to prescribe me adderall, and it makes me angry. YOU were withdrawing after 16 years, and made it to the other side an incredibly strong and insightful human. That gives me hope.

Lol this is so nice. On the internet there are some scary resources for people. "Oh you can suddenly stop taking meds, you don't need to taper stimulants, oh no you can't become dependent if taken as prescribed, and you should not experience withdrawal unless you were not taking them properly/ abusing your meds." Lol. You're content is so relatable, I have not seen anyone else that has had the same experience as me. I was looking on tiktok and found a bunch of ppl who stopped then decided they needed the drugs and went back. OR ppl who stopped then making their videos 2 weeks later about their journey when how can they feel normal after only 2 weeks???

I often feel like I need this. I try and imagine who I would be if I had never started taking Adderall and I feel like they would be a complete stranger from who I am today. I also try and imagine how I could function or do anything with my life if I ever decided to go off of adderall. I also feel like there is a war inside of my body where one side of me is trying to pull me away from the adderall and the other side of me pulls me towards it. I don't think I have a strong enough support group to go through this. I fear I would lose everyone I care about. But I also fear that I will never know who I really am. I've been taking adderall since early high school. Now I am 20 and living on my own. I have so many dreams and goals. What if those goals go away when I stop taking it?

Hello, I just recently started taking adderall, I think im starting to become addicted. Thank you for this video, I’m gonna try to stop. It’s just hard now because I got in trouble at school. They put me in a “alternative school” (been in for 3 months now) everyday I sit at a computer or 8 hours. I started taking adderall 2 weeks ago and it just makes it so much less miserable. Without the adderall I fall asleep and don’t get my work done or I’m too slow. Resulting in bad grades. I don’t know what to do. This drug helps me so much.

Loved the video! I was on Adderall for 4 years and it really did a number on me mentally and physically. It was also really hard to walk away from it and the withdrawals where extreme. I actually uploaded a few videos on my channel about my journey.

Well done on quitting, man. I related to a lot of what you said and have had to deal with trying to quit. It's been fucking with my head because I do want to quit but can't get over that initial hump of apathy, fatigue, emptiness etc. Not having energy and motivation is probably the worst because i can't focus and am not productive-can't complete assignments or even attend lectures. I can't afford to miss out on more work and fuck up. Whenever i've tried to quit, its been "cold turkey" resulting in dibilitating withdrawal. I know you mentioned it but, do you have any advice or tips for tapering off over a long enough time so that i can feel at least relatively "alive" each day to complete responsibilities and tasks. Thank you for the video and welcoming questions.

I have always wondered how people cope with the tapering. After riding the withdrawal rollercoaster so many times in 12 years, my personal experience with tapering was that it never helped me. In fact it almost seemed worse than cold turkey which is where I am currently at. Tapering just extended the feelings of worry, panic, and impending doom. I am glad I found this channel, it is reassuring to know I am not alone. Good luck to you in whatever you decide! Time for a nap for me! lol

im beginning the journey of quitting... i must do it...

it's been bumpy... i haven't taken adderall in 2 weeks, but the extreme fatigue and just lack of interest in things is tough. unfortunately, i've been drinking alcohol a bit to compensate. I know this isn't a good solution, i just cant take being so disinterested in everything and my job (sales) requires me to be enthusiastic and convincing. even though its tough, i do feel good about not being so robotic and in the zone all the time like i was on adderall. i know it takes the brain a few months to adjust, in the grand scheme of things, its not a long time at all... but in the moment, it feels like an eternity. its hard to have people notice my decline in performance. any tips are appreciated from anyone. thank you.

Proud of you man. I gotta ask though, what are you going to do with the 50 pills? Why do you still have them?

@@R.L.Kramer i guess to be honest i hope after a few months of being off them i could take them moderately, ( not in exess just one) bi weekly "recreationally" but who knows maybe its just a pipe dream and that feeling i got from them is gone forever. Ive never been addicted psychologically im stopping to save my life. And my gf suffers from low blood pressure if she ever has a spell they could be used to raise it in an emergency. But most likely there getting trashed. If i found out they were destroyed i wouldnt care a less if that answers your question, but down the line maybe they can be a resource.

I was on it for 9 years. I've been off it for 6 days... so far, it's hard to find the same motivation I had while on it. Thanks for sharing your story.

Hilarious. I thought this comment said "I have the same motivation off it as I had on it" . 😆 I thought this guy is full of shit. Then I realized I read it wrong. Nerf Nerf.

ive been on 10 mg of vyvanse for almost 3 months and I still haven't made the leap to full on off besides a couple days here and there. I am so nervous to do it and worried it'll affect my school performance. if I ever do it ill be the happiest person alive. you are very brave for sharing. hows your book coming along? there suchhh lack of info online on this

Thank you!

How were you taking amphetamines to begin with? You had a prescription for Adderal or you obtained in a different way?

I’m going through right I choose to stop because I can’t afford it ,I can’t wake up in the morning the anxiety is awful I feel hopeless basic things to do is so hard to do” please anyone have any trips or supplements please let me know

Off adderall for a month. After 10 years of using it to treat my ADD, I am still in withdrawal mode. It is tolerable rn, mostly, but I dislike random bouts of anxiety. Not depressed anymore, but still struggling with being intentional. Sending prayers to all who are trying to get off these chemicals for good.

And if the medication creates other problems, which it often does (so no, not similar to wearing glasses) then people should not be shamed or berated for making a different choice.
