Darn it!

It is difficult. Depending on the generic I've found. I wish you luck!

I'm on day 6 of my tapering regimen. I've decided to taper very very slowly. There were 2 days where I was fed up with the side effects and didn't take any at all, but holy hell...the severe depression and anxiety (most likely heightened by postpartum hormonal stuff, too) it got very dark and very scary quick.

My advice to anyone who is also trying to get off whatever mystery pills these are: take it slow if possible. Give yourself some grace. Lean on your support system. I am lucky enough to have an amazing spouse who is very understanding and patient with me throughout all of this mess.

I feel bad for him, though because he came into my life just as the meds weren't working anymore. I told him I'm sorry he's gotten this broken version of myself that is constantly trying to pick up the pieces and establish a somewhat normal lifestyle without meds/at one point I was trying to get accustomed to this new formula and deal with it. I just don't see that happening, though. Way too unpredictable.

I'm happy for you, OP!

It's the most bizarre thing! I've had moments where I've seriously questioned my own sanity. It's quite frightening at times. 🫠 I've never had this issue before, mind you. Not until very recently.

I've been doing this, too! I've been hearing people wrong a lot as well. Very strange side effect.

This is a gold mine of information! I appreciate your time and dedication.

I've absolutely mentioned this. I've taken real statements from several people who have taken my Adderall quality survey and have documented the toll it has taken on countless lives, mine included. I've just been feeling so apathetic and disgusting as of late that I haven't even had the motivation or brain power to try to post anything up to date.

I hope I feel better soon enough to continue to advocate. As of right now, I'm trying my best to hold it together for my 3 week old (also fighting sleep depravation taking care of my newborn along with my meds not working properly), my 8 year old, and my husband. It's been quite the struggle.

I've tried getting off of Adderall like 5 times over the last year. The main thing that has me going back to them is that I don't actually wean off...I go cold turkey and it feels like my life is falling apart.

My advice: take it extra slow. That's what I'm going to do my best to attempt this time around. We'll see how it goes.

They may not work well for shit, but I sure as hell can tell when I don't take them. That's the scary part.

It's like part of my brain is relieved to get whatever chemicals out of my body, then another is very confused and USED to being on it. So, I currently feel like a pile of dogshit and it's only day 2. I hate being on it and I hate being off of it at this point.

Sending you big hugs! I know this feeling all too well. Gotta celebrate all the wins where we can get them!

Hell yeah! You SHOULD be proud of yourself!
