Adderall made my hair thinner, skin more wrinkled, got thin and weak, felt disconnected to friends and family, long never ending to do list, overthinking EVERYTHING!

Yeah I feel more "human" since I quit cold turkey. The first 3 days were brutal. I was sleeping all day, couldn't get out of bed. But by day 4 I woke up feeling "alive" again. It's hard to describe. It's like I've awaken from a brain fog and now everything seems so much clearer. It's only been 5 days and I already feel 100 times better. I started taking cbd gummies and I think this is helping to speed up the recovery process.

In my second week quitting adderall cold turkey. Here are my symptoms -Depression/ suicide thoughts -zero motivation to do anything that I want to do - I feel the need nap or sleep after any task even though I don’t want to sleep that’s all my body wants to do. However, - I have zero anxiety now

I abused adderall, it ruined all of my friendships, relationships, caused me to become disconnected from reality, and once I quit, I went through the most insane psychotic episode possibly imaginable. It completely changed my personality. The worst part is, once I finally quit, I eventually felt like my old self again, but realized I had been a completely different person for the past 5 years. This sent me into shock and I almost ended it all. Adderall completely ruined my life. My question is, while you were on adderall, what did you do with your time?

The episodes of paranoia and anxiety I feel are really scary and felt like I was alone and it will last forever but hearing other people had these problems has helped me immensely when they appear along with breathing and meditation. Also exercise has been helping me get my dopamine and norepinephrine chemicals through the day reducing the frequency and intensity of these episodes

WOW, Spot on with everything you went through. I have been on Adderall for over 40 years of my 60 years on earth. When covid hit and I was laid off, I quit cold turkey. It's been about 6 months and I am going through the blaws. I have money, but desire to do nothing like you mentioned but watch movies and KZbin videos. I have to force...and I mean force myself to do anything. A nice day I should be riding my motorcycle, or fishing, flying my drone or something. I started taking vitamins and supplements with the newest being NAC. I feel as if I am climbing out of the rabbit hole, but am getting better. Thanks for the video as I can see I am not alone. Oh, I have to say, the coffee thing. I could not start my day without coffee and now, I just don't desire it any more.

I’m an artist and found it helped me paint for longer and take more creative chances than I normally would have. I loved the false confidence and resilience I felt. It helped me bury painful experiences, but not resolve them. After taking it for many years, it has become my identity. It dictates my moods, which slightly change each month and refill. (Not sure if anyone else has had that experience). Looking into recovery has felt isolating because I never told my friends out of shame. I’m trying to find the courage to quit and make peace with who I am. Outside of KZbin, have you been able to find a community to help/support? Thank you for this video, and hope your recovery is going well 🤍

My first week of quitting adderall: intense extreme fatigue. Sleeping 10+ hours with a 1-2 hour nap in the middle of the day. Migraines, depression, and crying outburst. Anxiety and panic attacks. However after praying and relying on God on day 7 of adderall withdrawal my mood went up, I felt happy and extremely content regardless of my circumstances. Felt like I could focus better without the adderall because I was having restful sleep, and had interests in my passions again. I also cut out caffeine at the same time because my mind was over stimulated all the time. I would take my adderall and drink coffee because I still felt "tired." Also my psychiatrist told me its okay to drink coffee, even thought its another stimulant........ Long story short. Trust your gut. God created you to in his image. Beautifully and wonderfully made. He gave you a unique brain, own it and like rose said- self acceptance is the key to managing daily struggles of adhd. Remember ADHD is not apart of your identity. Everyone has weaknesses and mine have to do with the symptoms categorized under ADHD. I may struggle with ADHD but ADHD is not me.

Quitting rn for the second time but this time I’m kinda worried because when I picked them up 2 months ago I’ve just been on a complete bender since then basically taking crazy doses sometimes within a 24 hour span and staying up a way too long too often. But I’m on day 2 and it really hasn’t been horrible basically what you described. The first time I got on them I was pretty good about it just kept It to like one or 2 pills a day max and wouldn’t pull close to as many all nighters and went periods without them unlike these last 2 months. The reason I got back on adderall was to “get back wasted time” in a sense from a previous addiction which I can say no withdrawals will come close so that’s always a plus. Anyways great video! Love the positive energy and what you’re doing keep it up

Omg Im living in my bed, I quit cold turkey and I never want to touch adderall ever again. I have tremors and yesterday I vomitted. I started to worry, I feel so reassured now watching people talking about it. I know I’m not alone. Thank you. Its been a few weeks, I take potassium and magnesium supplement to help. I eat more than I used to so I did gain a few pounds… but its all right. Went from 130 to 145. Not that bad. What sucks at the moment is the lack of motivation to exercise and the tremors. I can manage the negative thoughts. I hope my shared experience will help someone. Also! Most important part is to drink water. I have a 2L bottle and try to drink the whole thing everyday.

Oh god I can relate with a lot. Haven’t committed to coming off of adderall, I want to though. I’ve just recently started experiencing psychotic symptoms while on adderall and it’s so confusing and scary. It started subtle where i was experiencing some hallucinations but I wasn’t worried since I thought I was still in touch with reality. Well that didn’t last long, my bf and I started fighting about something and it must have really stressed me out because I somehow got the idea that he wanted to/ was going to kill me. It was so terrifying for both of us. Now I’m just so terrified I might fly into psychosis and hurt someone because I believe they’re “after me”. Also, I saw on a diff video that your dad died. My dad also died recently. I really like that you’re talking about it. I’m tired of watching all the popular movies and shows where the main characters mom/dad is dead to give their characters a tragic anime back story 🙄

I’ve cut adderall completely out of my life now, and my mental health issues have gotten to a point where I’m able to live a functional life which is really cool. I wasn’t able to live a functioning life when I was doing adderall, it was making my depression so much worse I do Xanax and a less well known, and legal drug (in Florida) daily still and also take medication for mental health issues including ketamine infusions. So I’m still not recovered. I’m just able to function I’ve also been doing therapy on and off and have a friend group also struggling with mental health and we support each other I’m back at university and more content than I’ve been in a long time.

@@jamestrentham8576 Oh wow hi!!! I did not expect another reply to this comment lol! I have both good and bad news. The good news is I feel more empowered and less depressed than I have in a long time (sometimes I never thought I would feel happy again). The bad news is I still don’t have the right medication regimen and my life is still a bit chaotic but I’ve recently been making a lot of healthy changes. This included getting out of a toxic relationship and going back to school for psychology. I also just completed a psychological evaluation yesterday and will receive the results in approximately 1 month. I will try to update this comment at that time so I can give more information. I want to recommend that other people who are not getting the treatment they need (and don’t know what treatment they need) go get a psych evaluation, because it’s objective and thorough. From my POV it seems as though a lot of psychiatrists will prescribe things without even knowing what’s fully going on with a person so be careful. An actual evaluation is very expensive and very long though.

Adderall drove me crazy and caused social issues. I had super severe ADHD and the change the adderall did was made it where I went from losing 40 things a day to losing nothing at all, but the other effects were beyond what I wanted to bare. Vyvanse made me live the life that I had wanted to live and never could because of the crippling effect of the ADHD in my life, but with neglect-able side effects . Every one is different and not everyone has ADHD as severe .

I was put on adderall as little kid in elementary school when it first came out and I took it for all of my developmental years into my mid twenties(25). And then I got off of my parents insurance and my life came crashing down. I took out adderall every day and never really thought anything of it. And then when I stopped taking it, it was like. Oh, my God, I'm done for I can't do anything. I don't want to do anything, I'm worthless. 0 motivation 0, 0 physical energy, 0 focus complete brain fog. It's like someone just took my Brain Out of my head and left me with only what I needed to stay breathing. And maintain a heartbeat. It took me about a decade for my brain to heal and get back to normal to the point where I actually had motivation to do things and actually have wants and desires again.... I don't even know how it's legal for doctors to prescribe that stuff to young people who are still developing. Because it's literally pharmaceutical grade meth.... People like to pretend like it's not but it's just pharmaceutical grade meth. And it's like steroids for your mind so if your so when you stop taking it, you won't be able to maintain and keep doing whatever it is your were doing on adderall I promise it will be nearly impossible unless what your doing doesn't require much mentally or physically. Getting off of adderall was the best thing I ever did. It was hell on earth, but I finally made it through. And I am so glad I got off of that crap It was a long, 10 years of healing. I remember the first time I laughed at a TV show or movie in over a decade. I startled myself. And that's when I knew my brain was actually healing. And it was getting back to normal. Because I actually started laughing and stuff again and actually wanted things and to go places. Adderall completely fried my brain. Stay away from that crap. If you gotta take it to study for finals, no problem here and there, it's not a bad thing, but if you're taking it on a regular basis. You're a drug addict And you're gonna go through all the same stuff. Drug addicts go through when they try to get off their addiction drug. And it's doing all the same damage to your brain and shutting off. Narrow pathways that you're no longer using. Because the adderall's pretty much doing all the work for you. But then you'll realize how anemic your mind has become once you stop taking that stuff, and you actually have to function, you're gonna be 100 times worse than you were before. If you had a hard time focusing before at all, you will literally not even be able to focus on anything. If you start taking adderall and stop taking it, it will just be even worse. Adderall fixes nothing all. It ISIS abandoned and it covers up the problem. And the problem just festers and gets worse underneath. And the Admiral exasperates everything.

I have ADHD and am currently prescribed Adderall. I’ve been taking it for just over a year now and despite my addictive personality, I never abused my prescription, even didn’t take my meds during the weekends or holidays (because they usually don’t call for much attention) however, I am thinking of switching to a non stimulant adhd drug to see how that works. I hope I don’t experience too much withdrawal symptoms when I do make the switch. And congratulations on staying sober! As an 8 year opiate addict (three years clean now) I applaud your hard work and effort to rid yourself of such a horrible substance.

I had an Rx for adderall for 11 years. I just recently was weening off and due to supply constraints was forced into quitting early. I’ve been exhausted beyond exhaustion and going to bed early. I’ve also noticed weight gain that I had previously worked off, so that’s a little frustrating, but I’m giving my body room to deal with the withdrawal. I’m also more hungry than before and I can’t get satiated when eating. I stopped trying to get full and just eat healthy portions, but it is super stressful to be disciplined!

you’re reaching bottom of ADHD dysfunction due to dopamine depletion, and your brain was looking for sources of dopamine (such as food, hence the weight gain) in order to compensate for the lost dopamine it received from the stimulant, I’d say of the best natural replacements for dopamine it would be: love: spending time with loved ones, meditation, exercise, taking SUN our #1 energy source, doing something you once loved, stay away from negative thought-triggering things/people, all of these things are about self-care, people with ADHD just need more self-care than neurotypicas to reach mentally stable levels, sucks to say, but I do know that once we feel good, we feel better than neurotypicals feel because of our augmented range of emotions.

Those two ideas just drained me mentally and put me into a panic. So now I want to get back to myself before I took my first adderall. I want to love life again!

Hey Corey! So when you stop taking it, you are actually going through withdrawals, which is why you feel completely not yourself.

Best thing you can do when getting off it is diet, working out, supplements and a natural brain supplement like alpha brain. I’ve tried quitting multiple times on my own but 7 days ago I had enough with all the problems it’s caused had my doctor unsubscribe me and told my wife and family about how much it affected my life and they never knew besides my wife and that helps a lot. Keeps me accountable and they can understand the situation. I been praying to Jesus and that’s helped the most with reading the Bible. I’ll pray for you!

Thanks for being honest, some people are like "i just quit and it was easy, no symptoms and loved life immediately with extra energy" ... Liars Honestly in my mind its scary cuz Adderall helps me ALOT with not being messy, being on time, not loop in endlessly idiotic stuff i do when im off meds, but i need to quit at least for a while (i do stupid stuff without meds, crash car Windows, bath in fountains, play videogames for 24 hours) Its hard coming to terms with stopping and being a idiot again

I unintentionally and unknowingly lost 10 lbs, and I realized it was the Adderall I immediately stopped taking it, and it's been roughly 2 weeks I think, and it took a couple of...rough days for me to realize I was having withdrawals/my normally dysfunctional brain was taking over. I apologized to the family in advance 🤣 it wasn't worth accidently starving to death, plus I felt super shitty anyways. I'm just hoping my Dr has something relatively safe up her sleeve, I've already tried Ritalin and that didn't work for me.

Were you addicted after being diagnosed from a doctor? I am about to get an evaluation for Adult ADHD and I feel like I want to try the medication route. I mean I know it’s not a fix all solution. But I feel like it would help me get over that lack of push and motivation to do the things I want to do. I suffer from a lot of ADHD symptoms but never been tested and it has been a bug headache in my life. But I’m doing my research on medication before I go that route.

It started recreationally for me and then was diagnosed by a doctor. I do have ADHD, but taking medication for it is not worth it for me. I’ve just accepted how I am. And I love it! Good luck to you. Keep us posted 😊

Taking medication responsibly under the advice and prescription of a doctor is a completely safe and sometimes necessary route. As long as you aren't an idiot about it, there is nothing to worry about. You are not an addict. ADHD is different for everyone, for me it's debilitating. I was diagnosed at 28. I knew something was wrong with me long before I even knew what ADHD was. It was never even on my radar. It's not always about "just accepting yourself for who you are". That's a load of bullshit. Try telling someone with diabetes to stop taking insulin and just accept themselves, or someone with severe depression to just stop taking antidepressants and accept themselves or 'be positive'. Sounds ridiculous, right? ADHD is the same. Some people have very mild symptoms, congrats to them. Most of us need a combination of meds and therapy. People using ADHD meds recreationally infuriate me because it's their fault that there is so much stigma and that people who ACTUALLY need it, have a lot of trouble getting prescriptions.

I tried Adderall 1 time last week . It was my very first time. I was prescribed Adderall XR 20 mg. I was ok for a bit but later on I was so messed up. I couldn’t sleep at all that night. I just stayed up. I tried so hard to sleep with no luck. The next day I felt like CRAP! I had a headache, I felt nauseous, and I felt weak and dehydrated. It felt like a horrible hang over. I ended up not sleeping for 38 1/2 hours. I will NEVER take this med again. I’m not sure what happened but I will not turn to that med again. If anyone has a clue why it did that to me please let me know.
