My Struggle With Adderall Addiction

- I hope this helps someone who's struggling with this stuff. Adderall originally changed my life for the better, but eventually turned into a full blown addiction. I wanted to tell my story of getting off the drug for good.
If you're taking a generic adderall script and it's making you sick, you're not alone. I got off adderall because my generic had begun to make me sick. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to Crack. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Crack addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 4 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.
Yes he's Dr.benfungi.Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
WEAK !? Nah bro. 8 years sober my man. Meth , crack , alcohol , pain pills and everything in between. 63 year prison sentence reduced to drug court program. Did 2 years and been living life like a boss ever since. I AM PROUD OF YOU BROTHER! REMEMBER!! ONE DAY AT A TIME!!
Hey Jimbo, You got this, rooting for you man.
Drugs are illegal, shouldn't we try track him down? We should get him arrested imo
@@marinesole2Huh? No. A lot of people abused drugs in their life and shouldnt be arrested.
Does he have to revesit his past every video ? It gets annoying fast
@@marinesole2 what the fuck I don’t even know this guy and I would never do that you sound like a horrible person and he can’t go to jail for that dumbass
@@marinesole2 lol you're insane
Only a min in but man being honest and transparent with your viewers is the best and we appreciate it cause most act like Life is a giant bowl of cherries. We all have a demon of some sort in the closet. Stay positive and it will be a life long struggle stay strong and positive you got this.

Bro. This is exactly what I needed to to see. At 4:16 am. After flipping through shorts for hours when I should be packing to move. I’m grateful for your humility and information you’ve shared brother. I might actually have my dad take a look so that he will understand what to expect the next few weeks 😶much love bro.
I’m currently taking 60mg’s a day, I work part time at a restaurant and I’m in college full time along with a clingy girlfriend. I’ve was on vyvanse for 5 years and switched to adderall last year. I don’t remember what it was like to feel myself off of the meds. The last time I went cold turkey I almost lost my job due to my lack of performance and a 0.01% of motivation to even get out of bee. I hope to get off one day, the thought is also truly terrifying. I’m 23 years-old uncertain of my college degree, but I would delete myself if I was stuck minimum wage. As I am not even earning enough to get buy, with an adderall addiction that is awaiting to tear me apart one day…. I guess it’s the joys of life
Omg ibwas their ik that man ik that it sucks ass I hope you picked a well career path and not a bs degree
Quit Adderall almost 7 years ago. Congrats on getting clean man! Your not alone and it gets easier! On the up and up from here 🤘🏼
Quitting alcohol 7 years ago is the best thing for me. When I couldn’t fall asleep without getting drunk. I knew it was getting bad. Addiction is hard. Even with sugar I struggle with. Not because it has made me fat, but I feel like shit when I eat sugar. But I overall I feel better when I don’t eat a ton of sugar. It’s dopamine what your brain is chasing. You just need to find cheap and healthy ways to chase dopamine and still be in reality.
Congrats on your sobriety brother. My father struggled with alcohol and it’s what eventually took his life. Alcohol is ROUGH, and not a lot of people see it like that because it’s looked at as “socially acceptable”.
How did you do it? I tried last week and can’t go to sleep. It’s so hard I had to have a drink. I haven’t gone more than 3 days without a drink for years. Getting a little nervous because I’ll be 40 in the next few weeks.
@aaroncarolina7381 don't drink for 24 hours. If it gets hard, think only about the next hour or two. Complete one step at a time. Break the big goal (never drink again) into little ones (don't drink today) and seek professional help. Therapy, psychiatric and 12 steps groups. I'm doing it for 1 year now and feeling better than never. You can do it too buddy
I too am a former alcoholic. I quit cold turkey when my daughter asked why all I did was drink beer, I'd crack a beer at 430am when I woke up and not stop till 10pm when I went to bed. I was a very functional alcoholic. When a 5year old points out all dad does is drink, it cuts deep. That moment I realized I needed to stop, not for me but for her. Been almost 3 years. I still have one or two a week but thats when we go out for supper on Friday night. The first month was the hardest. The withdrawals were horrible. If my supervisor didn't know what I was going through she would have fired me day 3. She knew and was very supportive. I had alot of people on my side when I was getting sober. But the #1 supporter was my daughter. Anyone can do it, some need more help than others
@@stevenkast89 I can tell you as a daughter- now 25 years old, my dad also was a very bad alcoholic he got sober when I was 9 years old & I still remember it all like it was yesterday. I was & still am so proud of my dad. Alcohol withdrawl is no joke & he suffered tremendously but made it to the other side for not only himself but for his family. He worked so hard & sacrificed so much to take care of our family & worked long HARD hours. He was a welder. He like many boilermakers, fell into alcoholism & drank to survive on the job. He got help & hasn’t had a drink since 2008. My dad is & always has been my bestfriend, I never forgot all the sacrifices he made for our family & all he went through. Reading your story almost made me cry bc I understand & your daughter will be so proud of you for getting your alcholism under control. Wanted to tell you from a daughter’s perspective it will truly mean so much to her. Wishing you & your family nothing but the best in the future.🩷
Any addictions are hard to cope with, I still battle with nicotine and alcohol. I was a adhd kid in the 90s and they feed me anything to fix it, once I was of age drugs and alcohol were my go to after realizing the prescriptions where doing. I wish you the best man as lots of us are still fighting the fight to live.
I really appreciate your video and candor.
I've been off amphetamines for almost two years after a long, addiction to them. I thought it was a perfect tool and for a long time, it was. But yeah, its was just fucking with me and my life too much. Some personal stuff happened with my wife and i decided that i was done.
Two years later, I'm doing okay. I recently got promoted to a supervisor at my job. I'm way happier in my life.
The biggest advice i can give is to accept the death. You are not ever going to be the same person without Adderall. I am a different person on Adderall. I'm way more into music and mixing. But without it, its been hard to find that person again. But I'm trying to get to know the new person i am without it. Some of it sucks but some of it has been great. Good luck out there.
It starts out as something you do while life is going on, then it turns into something that your life revolves around
I took 300mg a day when I was at my peak addy addiction. Glad that's over.
How did you manage to afford that? Just curious, that’s like taking 10 of the 30 mg’s a day..

God bless you Jimbo! Nothing weak about dealing with a disease, and don't let anyone tell you differently addiction is a disease. Stay strong.

@@marinesole2 you're either delusional or joking.
Being honest with all of us is honestly great to see. Glad that you're doing better, especially since health should come before anything else. Keep doing your best, Jimbo; that's all anyone can ever ask.
I can’t say thank you enough for being so open and showing people it’s ok to be who you are and every one, regardless of appearance is human.
My wife is going through the EXACT SAME situation currently. On day 6 currently fully off of everything. We know exactly what you're going through.
Jimbo as a diagnosed add and ADHD person going med free for almost 10 years now (prozac and concerta in my case) it's rough getting off meds especially going cold turkey to stuff. It's rough but at some point it's just needed because meds can sometimes just stop working. Keep up the good fight and just take one day at a time and don't be afraid to branch out to other things if you feel burnt out on one thing
Glad to see you looking so healthy man. And if you haven't heard this from anyone else, im proud of you! This is just the beginning and I can't wait to see what you do!
This is the first thing that I have seen you do that I have mad respect for. It was obvious that something was going on and I'm very proud of you for owning it. I know a little something about addiction and you have impressed me!
As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD decades ago. I feel this video on every level. Really appreciate this video. It hits deeper than you could ever know.
Sincerely, a growing channel.
@stephaniewest8226 why the heck would I want that crap when it took me forever to get off of it.
I got diagnosed with ADHD, should I take medication? 😮
Thank you for being so open and honest about what you've been through. I wish you the best of luck and must say that you look MUCH healthier now than you were for quite awhile. Hang in there!
This takes courage brother, your helping many people out with this videos ❤ I wish you the best brother, this is just a little bump on the road 🙏💪
Glad to see this guy doing well and being an actual adult. I remember seeing his C4 video almost losing control many years ago and thinking there's no way he would survive this long, honestly.

Jimbo you are not alone. We are here for you. Thanks for posting your story. It takes a strong man to go public with this problem!
I appreciate this a lot man, literally just went to the doctors today to figure out my ADD, it has been rough this year and this video made me feel a lot better and aware so thank you!
❤
Those uppers are tough man. Dangerous game! Unmedicated ADD here also, and I tried Kratom as a “natural” alternative to adderal. At first, miracle drug, my life is changed forever, this is what it’s like to be normal! 3 months later I’m at triple the dose and I can’t force a smile unless I’m freshly dosed.
The challenge really starts when you stop because now everything seems boring or underwhelming compared to your high phase. We are here for you Jimbo.
I love this comment because I also got addicted to kratom thinking I was “drinking coffee “ like the promoters on the Internet say, and it totally fucked up four years of my life.
Kratom is straight from the devil and will I know that sounds very dramatic, but I say that because there’s a lot of misinformation, and it’s basically like legalized heroin to some degree and it really takes peoples lives down, but they go into it totally unsuspecting, and it’s very addictive in my lived experience
A lot of people don't realize this in America or canada, but in Thailand the Muay Thai fighters would chew the leaves of the Kratom plant and have that painkilling property with euphoric energy before they fight, so in America and Canada the way Americans train and Canadians they want to believe they will get to that level of Thailand Fighters but realistically it won't happen because of what I just said @@whitneyw.7919
@@whitneyw.7919it's not straight from the devil everything is useful if you are responsible and are not susceptible to addiction, Kratom has taken me out of depression episodes that I felt like I was going to literally commit suicide but I only took it that day and I would wait months and months and months until I ever took it again if I had another major episode of that serious
Me too, struggle with ADHD, tried kratom to help me get through assignments in uni and at first it was great but then overtime felt less motivated and more apathetic. Then I hopped on Vyvanse and I can feel the amphetamine addiction take hold
@@whitneyw.7919 you definitely should’ve did more research Krom literally works on opiate receptors so withdrawals or literally like hell
Brother - you got nothing to be ashamed of. I can very much relate to your struggle. It's easy to let this stuff get the best of us when we're wanting to keep crushing it. I'm so glad you finally got help. Stay sober.
Thank you for being honest and sharing this. Praying for you on the journey you are on.
Good on you man ! It takes guts to self reflect and realize you’re mistakes I struggle with addiction as well . And you look a lot healthier just seeing you from the old savage garage vids to now . Keep on keepin on my guy ! We love you for who you are !!
Been addicted to opiates (oxy, then heroin, now fentanyl) for almost exactly ten years now. I legit still struggle with it bro. Addiction SUCKS, and it can be a rough road. But with some support, and a positive outlook on life.. you can without a doubt conquer that addiction and make it your b!tch. Number one is being transparent with the people around you, it’s so hard to be honest about your addiction, and openly talk about it. So congrats on doing that part. It looks like you’re taking accountability which is huge. Anyways, I could go on and on, but I’ll spare you. Good luck to you on your road or recovery Jimbo. The community of people you have here are rooting for you, praying for you, and love you bro!
You got this man! Sounds like you are on the right path. I was a heroin addict for 10 years. It ruined my life. I OD'ed a handful of times, went through rehab at least 4 times. Nothing worked for me. I ended up getting locked up for possession second offence. did 2 years on a 5 year sentence. When I got out I lasted 3 days. ended up ODing in a starbucks restroom. That was it for me. I have been clean 5 years this coming april. Just keep positive people around you. I had to remove myself from that circle of friends. Sadly many of them aren't around now... I did the Vivitrol shot for the first year. It really helped me.
How long does it take to Oxycontin for 6 years I've been clean now for 11 I still take 4 mg of Suboxone a day just to keep myself from ever wanting to go back I wish you the best of luck my friend you are the only one that can make the decision to do it I know that for a fact no one could have told me I had to look in the mirror and finally go I hate myself
I’m in a similar boat as you, still struggling with it. I’m staying away from Fent at the very least though.
@@scottcol23 thanks man I appreciate that. Congrats on your sobriety too. I’ve heard about the vivitrol shot before. Does it just make it so you don’t wanna use? Or does it make it that when you use you don’t actually get high?
@@coyster530 thank you for the kind words, and wishing me luck. I’ll get to where I want to be, I definitely don’t want to get caught up in this life forever.
I noticed the same change around 2022. I never would have thought that I was receiving different generics from the same pharmacy. I was keen enough to realize there were different manufacturers, but I figured they all had to use the same formulation. Wild. Thank you for this!
I finally kicked my addiction about a year ago, and it's taken me about as long to come to terms with calling it an addiction. It had such a psychological hold on me that I was still had thoughts that it had helped me, even months after my last manic episode. It caused psychosis in me 5 distinct times over the course of 7 years. At one point, I was prescribed 90mg of instant-release a day, filling 90 days worth at a time. What started as a miracle became a nightmare.
my experience on adderall has been a great benefit while breaking through one ought to take the right dosage, below usually where l get mine
@novatripps
He's on Instagram
Getting off that stuff is awful. I’ve been there a few times throughout my life. Keep it up and stay strong.
I'm so happy to hear you are in a much better place, Jimbo. I was wondering where you were at because I have always enjoyed keeping up with your adventures. Stay healthy.
Good on you for recognizing the problem and doing what it took to fix it , been watching since you bought the C4 ❤❤❤
That was your best video to date, cause that took guts. I was impressed and I'm an old guy. We all know someone who has struggled with a version of that problem, but people still chastise. Kudos to you kid. PS, you look healthier now.
Hey JimBo, I am so proud of you for even having talking about this, you got this brother keep the positive attitude and take your time to heal. It not easy and it not gong to get easy but you can do it just have faith. I got this this
Thank you for talking about this! I went through the same thing, the generics were making me all over the place, finally quit in August. Glad you are feeling better!
Wow Jimbo, I commend you for making this video. I've been a subscriber for years. Since the C4 and ZFG days. Its hard to come out and talk about addiction. But I feel this video might just help someone out there that is struggling. I was addicted to opiates for about 15 years. It started with a car accident in 2003 when I was 18, they prescribed me oxycontin. then through pain management clinic shenanigans I moved on to a 10 year $100/day heroin habit. But I got myself out of it. It wasn't easy. I gave up more times than I can count. But I hit that moment of "I've got this" and made the decision to live again. I have been clean 5 years now. Take it one day at a time. It will get easier. I promise. I'm happy for you.
Good to see Jimbo back can't wait to see you get better and do better stuff
Man…this hits home with me. I have almost the exact same story as you and just quit cold Turkey with Dexedrine about a month ago and have never felt better. These pills are so toxic and like you said, they make you feel good and build you up but in the long run, it’s not worth it. What also helped me with depression and fatigue was getting my testosterone checked about 2 years ago, which turned out to be in the 300’s (normal for a guy is 800-1000) and that helped a lot after jumping on. Keep it up my man!
I’ve been on them for 12 years. I’m proud of you for kicking them: I lost everything to them. I got narcolepsy & nothing else works
You definitely look a lot better now. I've also battled addiction and it's been the most difficult thing I've ever dealt with. I've been clean for a year and a half now, but I still have to take life one day at a time. Thank you for sharing your story, I enjoyed it
I am mind blown at how similar our stories are. Even the same time frame. Leading up to last September I started struggling and having to take 3 hour naps during the day even after taking adderal. I went 5 days cold turkey and after losing the will to live I realized I had to do a taper. I miss the adderall still because of how productive I used to be. But I am so glad to finally break the addiction and will never ever go back to it. Life with ADHD unmedicated is difficult but better than being addicted to a medication
I’m proud of you buddy, admitting you have a problem is the hardest part!
I was fighting my ADHD to watch this vid. After watching it It inspired me. Thanks Jimbo ❤
Thank you for speaking on this. Takes a lot of courage.... I gave up smoking trees after 10 plus years of daily smoking and i damn near lost my mind. Went weeks without sleep, had crazy anxiety and ended up in the hospital. Surprisingly reddit was a good source of community and support for me as well. Take care of yourself bro.
Congratulations Jimbo, you got this man. keep your head up and mind focused
All the best to you and your work Jimbo
Keep it up ! I took Adderall for one week for an examen and getting off of it give me depression, anxiety. no drive ! only for one week of taking adderal in small dose so imagine for a few years ! Adderal is like a cheat code but for the long run it have a lot a negative impact. It's normal to feel a little tire, you need good sleep , etc . Keep it up, you got this
I hear you and appreciate you brother.. I've been on and off Adderall since my early 20s and now in my Mid 40s. I for years abused the stuff but about 10 years ago took control and now use 20mg a day max with weekends off and at this amount I'm able to go on and off with no withdrawal issues.. I have been getting Teva Dark Blue from Walgreens and me personally not seeing a change since pre Covid.. I used to like the Football shaped one and Sandoz... Congrats on your recovery! I am now thinking of stopping just know as a High passed Business owner it will be hard for me to keep all my appointments and crap in line
Jimbo getting swole to deal with haters
I was on it for 18 years. It took me becoming a mom to realize that I did not have a healthy relationship with it. It has been almost a year since I have been off of it and it has been hard but worth it. Excercise, healthy diet and sleep is the best way to help with ADHD.
Glad to hear your on the right path again. It takes real inner strength to do what you’re doing. Keep it up and all will be well for you in the future. One day at a time sir .
I got clean on Jan 13 2012 and now I am moving to Florida with my wife and 2 amazing boys. They say if you stay clean that you will live a life beyond your wildest dreams! Best of luck brother stay connected with the ones who support your recovery!!!!
Long time suporter, and you look a lot better than a year ago!!! And you are the most real youtube that I watch cant wait for more content!!!
He really does look better. Big difference from even his last video.
Thanks for sharing. I'm currently coming off suboxone. Pain pills were my thing. People started making fentanyl fakes. I survived 4 overdoses until I decided to make a change. Certainly not easy. But boy, did it change my perspective on what addiction really is.
Hang in there man ! Brave of you for putting this out many people are ashamed to bring this to the light! Godspeed!
Incredibly brave! You just did more for people struggling with the same issue than you know.
you are SO real for this and i wish you the absolute best.
i was struggling with this for all of 2023. i never really had issues with taking too much, or my meds "not working" until i switched from brand name to generic and my god it is horrible out there. i have a long history with mental illness and they got me playing roulette with my psychiatric medication every month. being told by doctors that there's no difference between brand name and generic "tHeY sHoULd wOrK tHe SaMe" ok but why am i falling apart at the seams and spiraling into the worst depression i've had in years all of a sudden?? i'm a lil over a week off meds and not getting things done sucks but it does feel better than the seemingly random push and pull my medication subjected me to monthly. like top 10 anime betrayals of all time
You look alot more happier, and healthier. Glad you are taking care of yourself first now. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I'm beginning my journey today. Thank you for this man.
Thanks for making this video. Really appreciate the insight.
Not going to lie this is how i feel with alcohol i feel like im at the point where i need to figure something out with my addiction i dont know where to start
Keep it up brother !!!! Can’t wait to see some videos on the Vet I have a 94 C4 I’m about to start working on.
Damn Jimbo looks incredible. Keep it up, life is tough but you're tougher.
Bro losing you’re two closest friends, while you’re so young, while they’re really young in terms of dying, so close together, one super unexpected., one with some of the worst circumstances possible, while dealing with addiction to amphetamines (one of the hardest addictions to deal with behind benzos and opiates), AND while getting bad medicine (psychoactive at that) ((I don’t think you really took it we serious as it is partially because doctors, pharmacists, news agencies, and even the public downplayed how completely horrible and insane that is because big pharma hid and downplayed it too, getting bad medicine/drugs is HORRIBLE for tons of reasons 1. Kills your trust in medicine which is supposed to help you 2. Not only do you not get the needed benefits you also get bad reactions to the bad medicine all on top of withdrawal from your actual medicine. These pharma companies need to be held responsible)). You deserve a medal bro not many people make it through even one of those things let alone all of them LET ALONE all of them in that short of a time period (that’s close to a lifetime of trauma for some people). Good luck man keep on keeping on, I was never super into your content or you & Randy beyond your super viral videos but your honesty and determination have made me subscribe and wish you the best!!!!! You’re killing it brother keep it up.
I have ADHD Jimbo. I did not find out about it until 2 years ago at 53. It explains SO MUCH. But it sucks. I do not take anything and not sure I want to.
So, I feel ya - any side effect you can name, I deal with it.
Glad to hear your story, and happy to hear you share what is going on in your life. Stay strong and talk with people when your having a shitty time. It helps.
Your in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck brother.
No shame or weakness in this. The reality is, that a lot of people who become addicted are normal folks who take medications for legitimate and therapeutic purposes. It can happen to anyone. I've taken Adderall in the past and currently take Ritalin. It's true, stimulants can make work fun. However, things became different once the Adderall shortage became an issue. I usually taper down my stimulants near the end of the period to avoid overtaking. However, things can be complicated at times and it can be easy to become addicted, especially if unfortunate life circumstances come up.
I'm an addict with 6 years of sobriety, and while this sounds like some severe dependency and abuse, addiction is a bit different depending who you ask - a bit more fundamental. Either way, dealing with it is extremely difficult. Withdrawal from any medication or drug is extremely crappy, despite how much addicts and drug abusers like to compare and claim X is worse than Y. (I was a heroin and cocaine user, a long with meth, crack, benzos... Basically everything lol) I'm glad to hear you got through the worst of it, just make sure you work closely with doctors and be as honest as possible and ask as many questions as possible etc. Good luck man.
Great comment❤

I love this version of Jimbo! You look great, healthy, and motivated! God Bless you Buddy
it's seriously the hardest thing I've ever done... getting off this shit is so hard... proud of you, and all of us who are making it through this without addy
You’ve got this Jimbo! I look forward to the new content.
These different brands are so annoying, like I just wish Teva was mine. I am so thankful for your video bro, thank you, my last generic was definitely shit
I was taking Thanks guy. I stopped my medication 6 months ago. I gain weight and sill am a bit tired.
My relationships are so much better. Thanks r for sharing your story Guy
It'll be 7 months for me.However, i'm lacking motivation, big time... any suggestions?✌️
i was on adderall from the ages of 12-19(im 33 now) and a couple of years ago i was struggling to find motivation at work and at home to do basically anything so i had this thought of "maybe i should go get a script again and that might help" im glad i didnt but im also kind of on the fence still. ive learned to focus my ADD over the years and can manage pretty well but there are still things in everyday life i struggle with. organization and motivation are the main two. but if they are messing with scripts and flip flopping like you say i guess ill just hold out and try my best to stay off and find a different way. thanks for the info!
It's prescription meth and because it's "legal" it's not looked at as a bad thing. Everything you're describing is exactly the same thing heavy meth users go through. Hospitalized for dehydration, bad batch not keeping them awake, needing more and more. Adderall can even rot teeth.
I've never seen your content before, but thank you for this.
so proud of you, glad you got that taken care of
Thank you so much for posting this video!! It definitely helped me a lot!
A lot of people are struggling with this, and in denial that they’re basically addicts, myself included
It’s also really downright immoral That companies are now targeting ads to people for what is really speed and Listing a whole bunch of symptoms that honestly everyone has one or two Symptoms, making them get Adderall prescriptions that after a few months or years really start fucking up their lives. To do that explicitly for money is just really immoral in my opinion. It’s not that far from being a drug dealer with the way they conducting business. At the same time though I do think adults should be able to do the drugs they want, so not advocating healthcare providers should be paternalistic. Just don’t think pple realize it can really screw w your life
Thanks for sharing this Jimbo
Big respect.. for coming foreward... and admitting problems takes alot of guts sometimes....god bless brotha...
After all your videos (which I am not that much fan of) this is really mind blowing. You taught me something new.
U got this man. Glad to see u are feeling better
Thanks for your honesty!
Helped one getting off it. The second person we tried to help failed. Get off this crap! Bless you Jimbo❤
keep up with the gym Jimbo, it tends to fix alot of issues. Consistency beats intensity.
I sympathize with you Jimbo. I've had an addiction to PH for a couple years now. I relate to the negative thoughts and decision making that you mentioned at 8:00. I hope you can forgive yourself and move past this!
Nice see you agine Jimbo and never fill bad on what your talking about. Talking about it is the first step you got this
You got this brother. Stay strong 💪
Thanks for your pure honesty
It’s nice to see that others have issues as well. I’m going through the same thing with another stimulant. I haven’t started to wing off yet but need to
Jimbo I love you man, you will get through this
I’m scared man. I’ve had all the same symptoms you expressed during high school, college, and even now in my career and I’m 34. I just got diagnosed for ADHD after a friend of mine told me I may have it just based of my behavior. He has it, so I guess takes one to know one. lol.
I don’t know what they are going to give me, but I don’t want it to ruin my life. I go Monday to see the doctor.
You're looking allot better jimbo. You've gained weight which is a good thing and look much more vibrant than your last video honestly. Your face is much more less pale looking and it even looks like your hair is much more saturated with your hair color.
Please keep working hard sir. I have faith in your next step in life.
Proud of you Jimbo and thanks for adding some humor with that fake podcast mic call out! Glad you're feeling better.
congrats getting off of that stuff. I found a doc that gave me a script years and years ago.....I loved it at first, but I eventually starting going nuts man! Memory loss, etc. God also delivered me from alcohol about 3 years ago. God is good. Thanks for sharing and stay healthy.
Hey brother your story really resonates with me. I feel for you and I know the pain. I'm a little bit older but I have been documenting my journey on CZcams for several years now and CZcams has made it all but impossible for my channel to grow. As a fellow addict and someone trying to spread harm reduction and save lives I asked that you possibly could share one of my features on your community I need someone to give me a break who has the ability to help get my channel seen by a bigger platforms larger audience - I've done my whole channel while homeless with no electricity or heat charging my phone at random places standing outside your room in the Michigan freezing Winters using the Wi-Fi and I've got several hundred videos I put so much work into it if you would do this for me I would be so grateful much love brother and thank you for sharing your cards.
This video has a different vibe, you have a different vibe. Good for you bro, I already like the new you more!
100% true. Just had this happen with my vyvanse. Generic was terrible and made me sick - I had to go back to get the name brand and it was a fight with insurance but got it done. Found the info on Reddit just like you did.
Hey Jimbo, I’ve been prescribed 40mg amphetamine salts extended release since 2017. My diet was so bad and it got to the point where every time I took my dose I would have extreme anxiety. The drug is great but not without side effects. This drug is literally a molecule off of methamphetamine. It’s honestly crazy how close it is. I personally stay off of it with lots of coffee.
