Adderall withdrawl
Background: I’m almost 18 and going into 12th grade. I’ve been taking adderall for nine years on an escalating scale. During exams I was taking up to 105 milligrams a day. That only lasted for about a week (my normal dose is 40 milligrams extended release). So after that my psychiatrist started weening me off. My dose has been lowered to 30 mg extended release a day. (I’m also taking 30 mg of celexa a day for anxiety). I started taking the lower dose about 11 days ago.
Issue: since school ended (about the time we lowered the adderall dose) I’ve been experiencing extreme highs and lows throughout the day. It’s terrible. In the mornings I’ll generally be really really happy and at peace. I’ll be funny and pleasant and charming and then, around like 2:00 pm, I just crash. When that happens I usually go home and try to sleep, and I’m in a weird, uncomfortable, constantly interrupted half sleep state for an hour and a half or more. Then I get up and just feel sort of normal and fine and then around 6:00 p.m. I’ll generally crash again, this time with major gloominess and my future will seem really bleak. Then, I perk up by like 9:00 p.m. And around 12:00 a.m. I have a crying spell. This has been every day for eleven days, what is happening to me?
Hugs, Jill
You’re going through withdrawls. It’s painful and it’s going to take your brain time to readjust it’s chemistry. That’s why a lot of people go into monitored rehab for this.
