Hi. I'm currently in recovery from a
strong amphetamine addiction (adderall).
It's not as strong as meth but it f*ed up
my life just as bad. I have been sober
for 7 days. I am having a extremely hard
time. The reason is life seems too hard.
It's too hard without adderall. I
don't remember how to cope with having to
pay attention at work. Any advice? If
I had to give some advice, I would say to
never touch the stuff. Once you know
what it's like being on adderall, you'll
never want to face life without it.
Somebody help me please!

Hey matt.... I understand your situation.
I am a recovering meth addict and an
adderall addict. I've been sober from
meth for 15 weeks, but am still on
adderall. It's a horrible, horrible
addiction and I completely understand how
life is terribly painful, stressful and
frustrating without it. The first week
is always gonna be the hardest, but stick
with it. Every day will get better and
easier. If I were you, I would talk to
your doctor about getting on strattera.
It's a non-stimulant drug for add/adhd.
I was on it for awhile and it worked
pretty well. You don't feel it like you
do adderall, so you won't form an
addiction to it. I would read up on it
and give it a shot if your doctor thinks
it's right for you. It will help you
with your add and make your recovery a lot
easier to deal with. Hope this helped.
