My situation:
Started taking Adderall XR at age 21. I am 27 now. Dosage ranged from 40 mg/day up to 65 mg/day at the top. I literally took it every single day, since I did not know about these medication vacations.
I add up the total mg usage for the week and here has been my record the past several weeks:
350 mg (for the entire week)
280
200
130
80
70
60 (this week)
Question: I've been doing this awhile now and my doctor isn't really clear on how much to taper (he lets me do whatever I want), and I am not clear on what are reasonable expectations of when this hell is going to end.
How many weeks left of this do I have? It's been really rough, and I feel like I may need to do 50 next week, 40, 30, 20, 10, etc. but is that stretching it out?
Also, does anyone have any info/personal experiences about the weight gain afterward and if you ever lose it?
I look like hell, my face is all bloated and I feel like I look like I am hungover or something. Anyone have any experience with this?

You can try. They have steps for tapering off ADHD medicines. I have been taking ADD meds since i was 17, and now I am 28. I am thinking of just going cold turkey and using the vitamins suggested by this website. It will def be painful.
Have you been able to keep at a lower dosage?

Going cold turkey is rough. So rough that it's a concern whether or not you will be able to handle it being that you aren't superman/woman. Why do that to yourself? Slow and steady wins the race.
Stepping down worked for me because I am finally off of the Adderall. I am 22 days clean from Adderall and, yes, it's still rough. I wonder when my nerves will be calm and when my energy will return.

Is it ok to stay on adderall if I'm 45 years old and 28 weeks pregnant? My doctor says it's better to stay on it.
