Worst part is CRAZY tiredness and lack of motivation....like you have a dark cloud over you for about a year

I’m prescribed 20mg of IR and XR 40 mg a day but I have been popping this pills like skittles already popped today 7 3 xr 4 IR and I’m still wanting more and I’m scared to withdrawals symptoms I promised my mom when the pills are over I would tell my prescriber that I quit but I’m scared also I’m smoking a box of cigarettes daily what I’m most scared is the anxiety and fatigue I’m a anxious person normally so adderall it’s been helping me focus at work and home but it’s getting out of my hands also I smoke weed but I try adderall to quit weed but it’s getting out of my hands and I think it’s time to quit been on adderall for a month any recommendations on how to quit any medication that helps 😞

my wife got off prozac and Adderall by using methylene blue for 2 months.

you want to get over addiction and adhd you need to detox heavy metals parasites and mucoid plaque.

Please make another video talking more in detail about recovering and how long it took to get your energy back and how it felt during that time. I am 7 months off everything and the brain fog has lifted I don't wake up with that exhaustion "in my eyes" if that even makes sense and am not totally wiped out and needing to nap every day but I still have so much fatique, I don't enjoy doing the things I did while on adderral like hanging out at get togethers etc. I don't know if this is my normal or if I can look forward to feeling better eventually. Thanks!

Thank you❤ Do you have a website?

Great 👍. One of your better ones if not the best

Just hit one year sober, your videos gave me confidence and helped me be strong enough to check into a treatment center. Getting sober from adderall is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, the hardest. But it’s been so worth it.

Do you take clients ??😔 but what about the emptiness?? I’ve been on this for 17/18 years and abusing them for half a decade or more 60-120 mg and I just already feel so tired and so empty. Thanks for being you….. I love you and your channel

Was on it for 18 years, got off of it in September and never looked back. It has been so hard but it is so worth it

In one of your videos, you mentioned that you also did cocaine. How different is cocaine from adderall? Also did you opt for adderall in order to get off of cocaine?

I don’t understand how you managed to take so much adderall. I usually take 36mg of concerta but going up a dose to 54mg gives me a massive brain fog and headaches, I don’t get any benefit from a higher dose. I will give Vyvanse a try once it’s available in my country.

Congratulations on your 10year victory beating your Adderall addiction. I just reached my 10 months. Your videos are so very helpful. I'm going thru all these things right now though they are getting better each day. You are an inspiration. Thank you for strength to share your experiences.

how much were you taking a day?

U have no idea how much this video scared the shit out me. Ur page has been truly the biggest safesapace I have found on the internet. I really appreciate ur videos more than u know. But this video….FUCKKKKKKKKK😢😢😢😢😢😢

Do you believe what lots of people say, "If you get high off of ADHD drugs, it means you don't need them, if you need them they just make you feel normal" ? I definitely thought I finally felt "normal", like, I had that feeling of "Oh! finally! this is what I've been missing all this time!" when I first took it, but that exactly what most people think the when they get the first taste of their drug of choice. I guess there's no way of knowing what it's like for others but it's really hard for me to imagine someone who doesn't get high off of the stimulant ADHD meds.

I love your videos so much. They give me hope. Is there a way to message you?

I wish you the best in life.

I was addicted to vyvanse 70mg for 8 years. I quit cold turkey due to running out after moving to europe..... I´ve officially been off it for 4 months.... aside from the anxiety and psychological disturbances and mild depression I had for a month after quitting cold turkey I started to feel normal again. I don´t want to discredit the recovery by saying this but ever since quitting I´ve been smoking pot all day long everyday so it gives me enough dopamine to keep moving on in life. I feel great now I lift weights daily I´m 26 and feeling healthier than I did when I was 18. just glad to be not addicted to the amphetamines anymore

Hi Lauren, do you have any recommendations for supplements or anything that might help with withdrawals? TIA

I’m glad I’ve found your channel recently. I’ve binge-watched nearly all your videos. They feel very authentic and the honesty is refreshing.

I haven’t taken it in 11 months. Why am I having dreams about it still? When will the cravings cease?

Thanks for answering my question !

Holy sht I take 10mg XR per day. 60mg is....wow. And that's prescribed. America.

It sounds like an easy “go to” but it really is about business. Big pharma, doctors, insurance companies, pharmacies and people who are convinced that they need Adderall to function. “I had undiagnosed ADD and I didn’t know it. That’s what my doctor said.” Hopefully people are realizing what has been going on.

Hi just delivered you an upvote. I remember you told me a supplement that you are taking that is helping you with your ADHD now that you have bravely given up Adderall. Unfortuantely that link no longer works and I was waiting until primeday to order it. If you could please provide me the name and brand you use, I'll once again be extremely greatful and pass your videos along to my friends suffering from the same disorder. Thanks!

Haha I do this myself. If you’re running out early and can be honest with yourself that it’s because you need more and aren’t selling it or using to get high, tell your doctor and they will change your script. Once it changed, Boom! It can be filled no matter how long it was since the filled previous scripts.

I have been abusing Adderall on and off for 10 years. I was 90 days sober, then relapsed then went another 30 days and relapsed again for 4 days. I'm so upset and wondering if anyone can share how long it took for your brain to return to some level of normal

Are you driving and filming a youtube video?!

How long does the fatigue last? My body crashed after catching a virus and now im left with chronic fatigue. I think the pills weakened my system

I have ADHD. I definitely started feeling withdrawal side effects after taking 10 mg for a month, increasing to 15 mg for a few days and stopping cold-turkey for 3 days - heavy withdrawal symptoms so I need to ween myself off of it over the next few months.

never take more than your prescribed. if you run out early it's entirely your fault. taking more is how you start addiction.

If you don't mind me asking I was wondering if the addiction had an affect on your self esteem and how you were able to overcome it. Thank you.

Thank you for always sharing your story in the most positive way.Congraulations on I think you said 9 or 10 year anniversary.The issues you touch I totally relate to

are there any specific vitamins or whole food supplements that helped with your detox? Like Min Chex or certain types of central nervous system vitamins?

Can you talk about how much quitting adderall has affected your income ?

I have ADHD and take Concerta (extended release ritalin) I don't feel addicted to it. The problem with adderall is that is instant release. I once chewed the Concerta pill and I got an instant high, I can see how you can become addicted to these drugs, but Concerta changed my life in a good way to say the least. BTW your rambling while driving is very entertaining 😅

i really dont know how i came across this video. I wasn't looking for anything Adderall related...strange...but i had a huge adderall problem once.I used it so much that it stopped working .maybe my brain ran out of the chemicals that make you high from it. Yes, i used it to get high . instead of its actual purpose. I feel like when i had access to it , someone else should have been in charge of the pill bottle because i couldnt trust myself with it. Most i stayed up was four days straight. Later I graduated to meth. Haven't used since 2018. Still trying to get over the guilt. and the wounds I inflicted upon myself. Dieting and excercise helps. But i really want to become one with society . and just be a normal functioning person. thanks for sharing your story !

Hey, I just came across your channel and I love it. You are super honest and well spoken. The insight that you provide is also far more useful than any certificate or degree will ever be. Five years clean here, looking forward to seeing where you go in the future.

I feel that so much I’m 42 and I’m still struggling and I feel so shitty about myself. Really good at putting on smile but inside behind closed doors the tears just don’t stop.

I’m struggling with adderall / dexamphetamine abuse- since a few months trying to get off it. I’m 20, do have ADHD and am looking for some people to talk with since I can’t really talk to anyone about it :(

How did you get through the functioning part?? Did the motivation ever truly come back for you? Do you think you are actually back to baseline?

You are so right. I don't care what anyone says adderall is a very dangerous drug. It is very overly prescribed. Do some people need it? Sure I guess but the stuff should come with a crash course and maybe even a brain scan before being prescribed. It infuriates me that kids are prescribed this stuff.

WHat supplements do you take if ya dont mind

I love this video. Thank you. I’m booked into to see a dr to possibly get a script for my ADHD. But I am also someone who can abuse alcohol so of course I am nervous that I could be creating a new addiction. I have in my head that the medicine might help me slow down my alcohol addiction. Am I being delusional? Should I cancel that first meeting so I never even experience these drugs? I tell myself I won’t abuse it but i thought that with the booze as well.

I’m 37 and I’m still learning to be sensitive with myself. I’m a sort of counter dependent Stimulants make me go faster, do do. I think go go is less intimacy with myself. With stimulants I feel less vulnerable more confident.. but it’s not truth. Going slow, with less urgency is more intimate Perhaps stimulants is sort of a escape from oneself. Stimulants or not I need to practice allowing feelings, allowing uncertainty. Allowing a day that’s not high performance Surrender to reality to real life

14:25 Working in STEM, everything you said is true. At some point one has to ask if the money is worth the mental stress to the point of requiring these drugs. Is a 6 figure salary really worth it? Thanks for sharing your story.

I'm eight months sober from Adderall Vyvanse addiction. I've watched every one of your videos. You have been such a help and inspiration to me. Thank you

Very true. I was Iike a 30 year old baby after struggling with amphetamine addiction since age 11. I wish I knew to relax and take it s l o w... But happy to report that 6 years later, I've largely caught up, grown up and even found a healthy relationship. Believe it or not, I no longer regret the hell if the addiction because it led me to the life I have now. God is real, man.
