In reply to Adderall Withdrawal - I'm In Bad Shape - HELP!!!, posted by Craig Allen on February 19, 2003, at 14:27:13
FYI, my experiences with adderall withdrawl, having stopped taking it for 8 days now:
* I've used adderall for 4 years; usually one 25mg dose each morning, and sometimes 5 or 10 mg about 8 hours later; I don't use XR as it puts too much strain on my "metabolism" and wears me out; I'm 46 years old.
* I take adderall Monday to Sat., but never on Sunday, to give my body a break. I am totally exhausted--mentally and physically--on Sundays. I usually sleep about 12 hours Sat. night, and another 4 to 5 hours on Sunday afternoon. I often get depressed on Sunday afternoon, but it is always gone by Monday morning.
* Lately, on the days I take adderall, I get *very* tired starting early evening, and usually just watch TV. To become more productive in the evenings, I am going off adderall as an experiment. I have not taken it for 8 days now. I sleep about 12 hours every night due to being *very* tired in the morning. I have more energy in the evenings now. I'm not very productive at work during the day--not motivated nor focused well. I'm experiencing no, or just minor, depression, nor do I crave adderall. It doesn't seem addictive.
