The Love Adderall Stole From Me

I have an addiction to adderall. I can't stop taking this medicine I love/hate. Adderall gets the love and attention that I used to give my newly wife. She deserves to be showered with my love,attention and know I am working to have a good life with her. I want to get help from this affair that I'm having. Please share your inspirational stories or anything that might help me. Thanks!

Hi Matty30D, thank you so much for sharing your story and for being here. Have you sought therapy or treatment for your addiction to adderall? You are already on the right path, because you realize that you have this problem and have the best motivation...your love for your wife, who does deserve to be showered with your love. I don't want you to lose her to this, so let's try to get you the help that you need and get you through this. I know that you'll get through this and be stronger on the other end.

I started taking Adderall about 6 days ago and I really haven't left my room. I zone out to much, I empathize with you

Can anyone tell me if they've tried tapering off. I realize that I will have psychological issues and will have to find someone to talk to. I am lucky that my husband did not leave me. I have done so many horrible things (unimaginable) and have lost so much time. It's now or never. I have led more than 9 lives.

I have been taking Adderrall for the last 8 years - 40 mg xr per day. I have also been taking Xanax for the last couple of years and got addicted to it and overdosed on it. I am tapering off Xanax and currently I am taking 4 mg a day vs. 8mg as prescribed and up to 60 mg when I overdosed. It's been horrific. The Adderrall is going to be hell I think. I do not want to go to Rehab and don't need psychiatric care. I never had any emotional issues prior to taking sleeping pills for Insomnia which was caused by stress. Instead of addressing the underlying issue of Insomnia, I got addicted quite quickly and in the meantime prescribed multiple psychotropic drugs which only made things worse. I am interested in other people's experience from Adderrall by tapering. It's going to be hell.
