In reply to urgent question re: adderall, posted by bissie66 on March 24, 2006, at 6:20:41
Today, I am on day 7 of an Adderall holiday myself. I was taking a much smaller dose just before the holiday, (10 mg daily), but what has helped me over the past 7 days has been a mix of fish oil, caffeine, magnesium, and Nature's Way Alive multi-vitamin. While my dose of Add is much smaller than yours, I must say that this combination, taken for about one month already prior to the beginning of the holiday, has greatly improved my life during this break period. Last time I took a break, I was irritable for 2 weeks. It has been much better this time (although it could be for several other factors besides the supplement regiment).
On the other hand, I do think that 5 days is enough of a break to begin once more on the smaller dose. Can you take the adderall for this weekend and then take another, more prolonged holiday from the 30 mg at some time in the next few weeks - perhaps even following some of my above advice to make your break slightly more bearable? Just a thought. I am interested in hearing from others as well.
