Brand New Here & ADD Stimulant addiction
Im addicted to ADD stimulants. I tried anything from Ritalin, to Strattera, to Adderall and now Vyvanse. I take varied doses and get terrible side effects. I really want off but my psychological dependence is sooo strong. Its like i cant lift a finger off my meds.

Welcome to SR. Sorry about your drug problem. Seeing a doctor is something you can do. Rehab my be in the questionif you can get off by yourself. There are support group but if you can do it your self then it could be time to 28 day rehab. To clean you up and learn how to do your widthdraws

Welcome woodlark 
Have you seen a Dr? I think some professional advice might be a good first step?
You'll certainly find a lot of support both here and in our substance abuse forum

I take strattera.... I love it. it's not like the other ADD pills. makes me feel level... I took Ritalin for years, 7th grade to college, and hated the ups and downs... strattera doesnt do that for me... good luck finding what works for you. Strattera works for me...
