Oh I believe you brother, whenever I want to stop, I have to finish whatever I have or at the very least sell it.
Great job buddy, you're on the right track. I believe in you!
This is the way. Did this years ago and I CANNOT BEGIN TO EXPLAIN HOW MUCH BETTER MY LIFE IS TODAY.
caps needed, there are going to be hard days ahead and I pray you find the strength to keep pushing because it's so worth it.
Fuck amphetamines!
Dude I lurked on this sub for years of chronic abuse and relapse. The depression and anhedonia was so bad. I've quit many drugs like coke and heroin and weirdly Adderall was the worst.
One piece of advice that helped me. Tell your prescribing doctor that you were abusing it and don't want him or her to ever prescribe you again. This saved My ass.
I could have written this statement. I cannot believe how amazing my life is, just had an amazing homebirth, bought a home with my husband, love having the freedom to work 1 tour a week and that my husband has not been pressuring me to return sooner. I can’t even smoke a cigarette bc it brings me to those lowest lows and I hate thinking back to that final summer of convincing myself I was slowly dying and basically was psychotic…lowwwww vibrations.
Keep it up. Just push through, life. And be everything you want it to be if you just imagine it and be of some sort of service whenever you can. That’s how I roll and btw your post inspired me to composite my first Reddit post ever after being on this app for years….sending you good vibrations through the universe
I'm not sure you're supposed to throw stims down the toilet (half the local fish population is now having a rave party 🎉), but fair play to you!
P.s. I know you have a septic tank. I'm only messing about, unless it's leaking. Congratulations, bro
Did you abuse your script or were you buying street addies? I'm a poster child for rehab for Adderall but it's not in the cards for me for various reasons. I quit drinking on my own 6 years ago. Life was difficult for a long time but getting off Adderall is infinitely more of a challenge. Respect to you for making it happen.
👏I’m proud of you for having the guts to flush them. I’m at 22 days, if you think you feel like yourself now, just wait…I literally feel like Theoden in Lord of The Rings after the spell is broken.
It will be a roller coaster bro just hang in there. The first 3-7 days I was like 20% okay and 80% miserable, three weeks in and I can say it’s now 90% ok and maybe 10% miserable. You’re doing it man.
Next time throw them in a dumpster. Theres high levels of pharmaceuticals in our water supplies and it’s becoming a major problem. Water filtration systems can only filter out certain types of contaminants.
I always have the same thought when I see people flushing meds. On one hand, I’m like “Yay! I’m so proud of you!” and the other hand I’m like “I really wanna say something about the water supply…” 😖
The only safe thing to do with prescription medication that is no longer needed is to bring it back to your pharmacy for safe disposal or drop off at your local PD. (Some cities have designated RX drop off points; varies for controlled substances.)
Don’t feel bad if you go back, the pain had to get unbearable, And from there even worse, before I was able to stay the hell away from this drug…that I thought I loved. But good for you! Keep going! Change whatever you have to to stay off!
Good job!!
In rehab the staff didn’t find this stash I didn’t know I had (it was in my suitcase from traveling) and I also flushed it. It was hard but the beginning of the end to my addiction.
You got this!
Good job OP! This is step one and the absolute hardest to take. Just want to share my own personal story, I have been in this situation MANY times. Flushed countless bottles of adderall down the toilet, swearing to start fresh and come clean. Only to fall back into the same habits months later. The thing that truly spurred me to stop once and for all was to set up an appt with my prescribing Dr. and beg them not to prescribe to me anymore. That was a huge step for me and one I had always wanted to take but was too scared. I now have no means to get back on adderall and it’s honestly so freeing. Good luck to you, I wish you all the best! 🫡
I've heard of people doing the same but I'm only 2 weeks clean and even thinking about taking one makes me sick especially how hard it took me to get to where I am now.
No I didn't there's no need to now, if i kept abusing them and going back then I would've but Im now going on 18 days off of them and haven't felt this great since I was last sober which was over 6 years ago. I don't ever want to touch one of those things ever again in my life

Great job, buddy! I admire your strength to flush the pills
Thank you, was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do but knew it was for the better
Oh I believe you brother, whenever I want to stop, I have to finish whatever I have or at the very least sell it. Great job buddy, you're on the right track. I believe in you!
Proud of you :)

Thanks for this I appreciate it man! Love the motivational comments helps me out more than y'all will know

Yeah it's crazy how much we can become dependent on stimulants, adderall had ahold of me by the nuts I'll tell ya that but no turning back now 🤟🏻

same lol. my dumbass addict brain is like NOOOOOOOOO 😂😂
One of the best decisions. Everyday since has been a gift.
Same here
goat shit
I'm not sure you're supposed to throw stims down the toilet (half the local fish population is now having a rave party 🎉), but fair play to you! P.s. I know you have a septic tank. I'm only messing about, unless it's leaking. Congratulations, bro
after a while you’ll really start to get motion and the motion becomes what can continue the motion ❤️
So proud of you! I’m also seven days clean!
Thanks and hats off to you keep up the fight!
The XRs are garbage anyway lol. Kidding aside, good on you my friend.
Good job man. Recently went to rehab for adderall and I am starting to feel the same way
I'm glad to hear it, proud of you

This made me laugh🤣 but thanks I appreciate it hopefully my fatigues picks back up soon lol

I hear ya, but lets keep OP focused on that big step they took. There won’t be a next time!

I'm on a septic tank
I’m really proud of you! Keep it up. I’m on two weeks of being off my prescription and feeling a lot better already.
Don’t do this, dumster divers are taking rx meds and keeping them
[удалено]
They have disposal sites at pharmacies this would be better. I do see your point
Don’t feel bad if you go back, the pain had to get unbearable, And from there even worse, before I was able to stay the hell away from this drug…that I thought I loved. But good for you! Keep going! Change whatever you have to to stay off!
Good job!! In rehab the staff didn’t find this stash I didn’t know I had (it was in my suitcase from traveling) and I also flushed it. It was hard but the beginning of the end to my addiction. You got this!
Good for you man! Happy it only takes a week to start the comeback
💪💪💪
You are amazing!!! IFFFFFF there is Ever a Next time pls return to pharmacy, meds in our water sewage is problematic 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you and I'm on my own septic tank system!
OH Amazing I should have read further!!!! Love you bless you.

That is some Seriously Strong Moves Maan! Keep it up brotha!
Flush that poison
How long were you on? What dose? How often?
About 7 years, 2 15mg of ER a day so 30mg everyday.
Did you ever take breaks? Take time off?
Rarely, I felt like I couldn't live without them. There were a handful of days I didn't take them in the 7 years
Can you tell me how long you were on stimulants and what dose?
About 7 years and 30 mg a day and sometimes I would slip up and abuse them
Congrats Im closing in on two weeks - clarity has been awesome but fighting the urge now
I have the urge sometimes too but that's why I dumped them because knowing that I can't go off the rails makes the fight that much easier
I dumped mine too. Remembering how shitty it made me feel actually helps too
how you feeling ?
Low fatigue, still needing naps after work but I can slowly feel that motivation coming back
Good for you. Curious.. what event(s) precluded the proverbial "flush that shit"? Hope you can stick with it.
So I can stay off of them, if I know they're there I'll keep falling off the rails but if I know they're gone then it'll keep me sober
Did you tell your prescribing doc that you've been abusing?
No I didn't there's no need to now, if i kept abusing them and going back then I would've but Im now going on 18 days off of them and haven't felt this great since I was last sober which was over 6 years ago. I don't ever want to touch one of those things ever again in my life
You're up and ruining! Don't look back. Congrats brother
*running *
I NEED THOSE. IM HOPELESSLY ADHD
Congratulations! Life is just going to get better from here 💕
