I am 50 mother of 4. Addicted to adderall trying desperately to quit. I lied to a doctor to get it. I was under the care of a psychiatrist for depression and inability to sleep she would not give me adderall. So I found another doctor who would. Well with the new laws in nys I was found out and now I have no doctors due to my dishonestly. My psychiatrist called me after my visit and said "you are taking meth amphetamines !!" I felt like a drug addict! I am or was taking 10mg 0r 20 time release. Anyway well here I am. I am trying desperately to quit adderall and I have turned into a raving monster. Today I had a fit of rage and threw things at my husband. Chairs, chucking cereal boxes at his head. Telling him I hated him. Yes, and I used to be the calmest most patient person. I could sit for hours taking care of my family when they were sick. Never have I done such a rage full incident. I cried all day. I sat in the same sofa all day. I ate c**p all day. Have not showered - too freakin tired. My advice is this: don't take it. Let me say it again. Don't take it!!!! Yes u will get a lot done but u won't care about anyone anymore. Yes it did give me energy to exercise but I looked like a walking skeleton. I look better already for the few days I've been off it. My face is fuller - which is so much better when you are older. What really matters in life is the kindness you show others. That is it. That is the secret to happiness compassion and love for others. I have pushed away friends and family and now I have to piece together my life. Because of ADDERALL. It's a trick. Stay away. Get off it no matter what. It is calling me still to go open the bottle and take one. Just one. I am a addict. I can't believe I am god give me strength to fight the calling. As I will pray for u all. God bless and may ur guardian angels hold you up and steady.
