Is anyone quitting tonight?
I'd like to know if anyone is taking there last pill this evening. ? Was hoping I could find someone and inspire one another if we detox at the same time. Dunno, just a thought.
Thanks.
Thanks.

(Granted I will take another in the a.m. but that doesn't count..lol) Can we count that?? :) Good luck friend...I wish you all the success and good luck I have to offer!!

Thanks all. I will be hurting, but happy that this is a few days of misery for a lifetime of happiness. My 3 children and I deserve this and more.
@amery2u, I wish I were you and at 2 days already. I envy that. You are half way through. In 2 days, I'll need the support and someone telling me to keep going.

I'm depressed and it comes and goes.
I get excited about new life starting, I get anxious about the RLS, Bathroom issues, most of all the BACK PAIN is insane. The only part I loved before was the hot baths.
I haven't fully started, I only weaned. Tonight will be my last dose and I will wake up in withdrawls 10 hours later.
How are you feeling Zoey? You are at 2 days? GOOD FOR YOU. Almost done. What symptoms?

Hello :) I was oh so excited when I saw your post. I have 2 doses of 15 mg adderall left. See, what I would like to be able to do and hoping that I can bring myself to do is take one tonight and take the last one tomorrow morning. Eeeek I'm sure you know that panicky feeling when and if you've ever been without a dose in the morning. Anyway, knowing my drug habits I just know ill take one dose and then ill think "why would I just take one and not really feel much when I can just take two and actually get something out of it." Ugh!! So yes I'm almost positive tonight will be my last dose (fingers crossed!!!! I'm a complete mess). I don't have any money and most of the people who had been giving me the adderall (I am not prescribed) realized that I clearly have a problem. So this is it :/ I'm feeling your pain it's scary as hell and my thoughts are racing. I would love to talk to you so we can lend each other a helping hand :) xx
Lets help each other ! :) I don't know much about adderall, but feel free to share your withdrawal symptoms and we will get through this :)
I have no doubts at all that you can do this...let your beautiful children be your inspiration! They deserve it and most important, YOU deserve it! It does suck when you're going through it, but there is a rainbow and pot of good on the other side that makes it all worthwhile...or so I'm told...lol. I'm only 29 days off methadone and that crap is brutal to your body...especially when coming off of it because I still have alot of the withdrawal symptoms.So I guess we could still go through withdrawal together! Hey hey.....!!
Lmao..... How about bowl of gold. ? Lol. Either way, I know what u mean and let's do it. I have anxiety, stressing but ready ! Just took last dose! No more pills or access . Dr knows and I'm done. Wow. Tomorrow I'll be misrable but happy I'm doing it finally !
I had some really bad bouts of anxiety there for a bit. Thought I was having a heart attack because I had never in my life experienced true anxiety. Sure, I've been stressed, but not enough to make me feel as if I had a 200lb man sitting on my chest, or have to change clothes because I soaked them in sweat, in less than 3 minutes. But it does subside as time goes by. For me, the hardest part is the physical side of it right now. Hopefully you should only go a few days and you'll feel alot better physically...then it'll be the mental part and the aftercare that will need to be tackled. But I have faith in you!! You got this...hands down. You go girl :)
You have the right attitude...go after your recovery the way you did your addiction! Write down all your reasons for quitting now. When you are in the grips of withdrawal he11 read them often. Have a good night and I will check on you tomorrow.
My first 55 days or so, I kept a spiral notebook and wrote in it every day.
I wrote down ALL that was going on w/me. Then each day, I could look back and see what was better, worse, the same or gone! Believe me, my mind was so messed up I didn't know from one day to the next what I had felt or not felt, so writing it down helped me gage my progress. I have re-looked at my notes more than once since being clean and am SO glad I wrote all that down. I really can't remember doing most of it.....
You've probably already heard not to overthink or overanalyze...while in that first 4-8 days.....our fear can make it worse than it really is. And even though many of us DO have the exact same w/drawals......we certainly don't each have exactly the same experiences. A lot of peeps had the runs.....I didn't. I puked and puked. Some cannot sleep to save their souls.....I slept fairly well...but my sleep patterns were totally messed up! I couldn't GO to sleep, but once I got there......the sleep was sound. Sweating.....my sweat glands seemed to be shut down by the time I quit...they didn't work.....I had unbelievable chills.....a hot pad and tons of pillows brought me a lot of comfort.
All that to say, if you share your own specific struggles.....there will be at least SOMEbody out here that experienced the very same thing.
We'll keep the light on for ya~

Thank you all so much . Laying down . Prepared with everything I'll need. Even bought those back heat $5 patches for aches pains. I'll wrap up in a few if I have too. Gatorade , water and lemons. Vitamin, hylands RLS, and immodium . And a benzo for 2 days or so. Heating pad, Epsom salt! I'm ready . I want to kick this in the friggen arse!!!! I'll start new thread Tonorrow hopefully and check in. I'll be 12 hours in wd when I wake up and have to drop off 3 kids at 3 different schools. Then try to sleep through half day. We shall see how it goes. I'm gonna remember not to over think, no fear, and not yell. I will yell tho, I get so moody. Maybe not because I want it so bad! Nah, I'll get grouchy with body aches but will stay positive . Still have to go with the flow. But at least prepares just on case .... I may not need everything but I'll see. Thank u all for being supportive. Amazing bunch . I wish we could all meet and have NA meetings in person . God bless all.
