I have been off stimulants (dexamphetamine) for now 5 months.
It has been hard, usally because being ADD you zone out, in your own world. Its been hard for me. Classes.....
All i can say is that im changing my mind set everyday i know i am going do it and be brave.
My mind has changed sort of to adapt to no medication. I feel a feeling that sort of inner stimulation, not mania, well kinda of because mania is stimulating and i have experienced it.
About work...OMG.... i had to pray to god to give me the focus and energy i need, i get disorganized and crazy with stocking, but after 4 weeks i have adapted.
Its called force your mind. Alot of ADD people dont have that "stimulation" and get off track. That why i think stimulant medication helps.
But i feel i am growing with my mind.
Unfortunatly at this time my mom well, i can be on stimulant medication, but it would be a big conterversy because she will go insane if she see's stimulants (amphetamine) she will litterly go mania, (personally i think thats where i inherited it from) she'll call the doctor and yell over the phone, it....it will just keep going.
I think im going to use this period to grow.
