New here...and glad I found this.
Hi everyone...just figured I would introduce myself a little. I had over six years clean from cocaine and ecstasy when I decided to go on adderall for my adult ADHD while in college. The treatment went well, but I eventually found myself taking more than the dosage I was supposed to be taking after my graduation. Recently my boyfriend broke up with me because I was "flying" all the time from taking too much adderall. This of course has made me somewhat depressed and wanting to use more. I flushed the rest of my prescription last Sunday, called my doctor Monday and told him I was done. I have not used since. I am feeling slight withdrawal from this, hot flashes and cold sweats with minor shaking, but I know that stopping was the best thing for me.
I'm just here for some support and the insight of others who are dealing with recovery. I think I forgot somewhere along the way that prescriptions can be just as bad as other drugs...
