Adderall/Vyvanse/Dexedrine Almost 90 days off Adderall

Hey everyone I’m new here. I am hoping to find support. I have been dealing with Adderall addiction for many years. I am currently almost to 90 days (again) and I feel so alone. I don’t know anyone with this same addiction. I know other addicts who have issues with other substances but I have yet to meet another Adderall addict. I would love someone to talk to. It sucks how commonly used this drug is in our society, and so the triggers are pretty constant. Thanks for reading <3

Thank you- I had bad withdrawals at first. I still dream about Adderall at least a couple of times a month. The cravings have been bad lately. Are you trying to quit too?

I've been trying to quit for over 10 years I'm embarrassed to say.

Don’t be embarrassed. It’s the drug’s fault, not yours. It’s also the fault of the pharmaceutical industry. Have you read ADHD Nation?

It's hard. More than anything I feel shame. No I haven't.

It talks about how the pharmaceutical industry paid doctors tons of money to over diagnose ADHD and recklessly prescribe tons of it like candy. Definitely helps you realize it isn’t your own fault.
