Continue reading →: Day 9 – Still No Signs of Withdrawals
I am a bit short on time this morning, but I wanted to just note that to my surprise, there has been absolutely no trace of withdrawals or discomfort, and in fact, I feel MORE energized. I did read just now at quittingadderall.com that with their “step down” method, you…

Continue reading →: Day 8 – First day at 3/4 of Original Dosage
OK, so it’s been almost an hour since I took my morning Adderall, and I feel “buzzy” and energized. At this point, there is no doubt that my body is getting markedly less of The Poison than normal. Yes, I still have a ways to go, but new are entering…

Continue reading →: Day 7 – Final Day of 7/8 Dosage
So it’s about to be official….by the end of the day tonight, I will have officially completed my first week at the lowered dosage – and I am going to celebrate myself for that. To some, reducing dosage to 7/8 of the full dosage may seem like nothing. But to…

Continue reading →: Day 6 – Better than Yesterday
Not too much to repot Adderall-wise. Notable actually was the fact that the micro-withdrwal symptoms I felt two days ago were not present yesterday. Which is interesting because if I was truly in a withdrawal, or at least a noticeable withdrawal phase, then it would be consistent with my experience…

Continue reading →: Day 5 – Drained Last Night, Good Today
As you can surmise from the title of this post, last night was a bit tougher, but this morning, I am feeling pretty good, despite being woken up abruptly for “Daddy Duty” and not getting my precious morning meditation and general quiet time that I would normally use for writing…

OK, so here I am on Day 4, feeling….GREAT actually. I thought I started feeling a “Freedom Headache” this morning, but it went away. I almost want the withdrawals to kick in just because of this tiny sensation of, “it’s too quiet.” But I am choosing to discard that, and…

Continue reading →: Day 3 – Feeling Inspired
OK, so this is really odd. Here I am on Day 3, on my first lowered dose, feeling actually BETTER and more ENERGIZED than I did when on my normal dose. This is truly beter than I’ve felt in a long time. And it’s unexpected. I figured that the best…

Continue reading →: Day 2 – Realizing I am DONE with Adderall
Wow, ok, so Day 1 was….freaking awesome. Like, awesome to the point where I questioned whether or not I accidentally took my normal dosage and ADDED that half a pill. But I highly doubt it. This morning, I made 200% sure that my dosage was indeed half a pill LESS…

Continue reading →: Day 1 of Weaning off of Adderall
OK, so I’ve finally begun the process. About 45 mins ago I took my first reduced dosage in years. So it was 17.5 mg instead of 20 mg, woo hoo! I feel pretty sleepy right now, but I am sure that much of that is coming from poor sleep due…

Continue reading →: The Almighty “Participation Trophy”
So as of now, March 4, this coming Tuesday marks Day 1 of my journey. I am scared, I won’t lie. This is daunting. And maybe it’s a terrible idea, given the current state of my life, with all of its stressors and challenges and demands on my levels of…
