ADVICE ON WEANING OFF ADDERALL NEEDED!

Posted by Craig Allen on February 17, 2003, at 13:00:29

i've been on adderall 20mg 3x per day for about a month. it pooped out quickly and has made my depression and anxiety much worse. this happened to me the last time i was on adderall and i went off cold turkey. i went through the worst depression i've ever had when i went off of it. it lasted a week before gradually subsiding. does anyone have any tips for easing this process? today i dropped my dose to 17.5 mg and i'm thinking that i'll drop 2.5 mg per day. i'm really afraid of going through that hellish depression again. please post some advice!

You might be better off to go slower.
Like, reduce by that 2.5, but then go 2-3-4 days before you lower your dosage again. Give your body time to adjust.
