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…

Continue reading →: Day 4 – Still Buzzing with Energy
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…

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…

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…

Continue reading →: Bright Mind
Just ordered this stuff: Bright Mind – Graymatter Labs Hopefully it will help with the “crossfade” from Adderall into something healthier that will not imprison me. It’s probably not the most potent replacement, but being that I will be just getting started, it may be sufficient enough for those early…

Continue reading →: Target Start Date
Right now I am thinking it’s going to be March 4, 2025. I need to get some ducks in a row. Right now I am thinking I want to have two things on hand: So yeah, this shit is scary, I won’t lie. Like, just last night, I was barely…

Continue reading →: My Other Debilitating Addiction
As mentioned in my first post, the third of my “Three Pillars of Quitting Warm Turkey” relates to changing my daily habits in order to promote the level of health and energy I’ll need to make my way to the “promised land” of freedom from Adderall. To that end, I…
