So, I am tired of Addy. I have been on it for at least 5 years now.

Plus, this doc scared and worried me -- because i'm addicted.



If I don't take it for a week -- I eat EVERYTHING in sight and gain weight really quick. Even with daily exercise. Plus, I had a high heart rate/blood pressure when I got a check up last month -- and I am great shape and pretty on point with my eating.

I don't wanna be on it anymore -- but I do need a new drug to help with my ADHD. I am talking to my doc tomorrow.

I am going to ask about Vyvanse or Mydayis -- but I also want to know if anyone has any other suggestions.

I am currently on 50mg Addy -- and sadly -- I feel like that aint enough anymore.

I love Addy - but I have to let it go...

Like what, honestly? Your doctor is going to give you something more effective and stronger than anything we could say take.

Ive taken a lot of different drugs for focus enhancement and there's not really anything quite like the centrally acting effects of a good stim.

You can try herbal and dietary supplements with stuff like CoQ10, L- Theanine, Acetyl L-Carnitine, caffeine and stuff like that but they're YMMV seriously with those and placebo effect goes a long way with stuff like that, plus if it doesn't satisfy you, you're gonna go back to the stims anyway.

I understand being addicted to addy and being on it for long periods of time. Honestly, it sounds like you're taking too much of it, as I think you should be able to get the concentration enhancing effects of it without it fukking up your appetite after a while.

& anyway I thought the point of being on stims was to slowly find more natural & therapeutic ways to help yourself focus and ween yourself off over time. Guess I was mistaken.

I also heard modafinil was good for studying/wakefulness

At this point, I don't know what it's helping.

I just know - if I don't take it - my ass is in bed and eating two bundles of Kale Salad in one sitting.

My concentration and focus is excellent on Addy. But, it's hyper-focus.

I have lowered my dosage and when I do - it's like I didn't take really anything. My doc and I have been playing around with dosage levels -- increasing and decreasing over the last 6 months. Decreasing does not help.

I have tried the natural suggestions -- along with just increasing exercise in the morning. Drinking hella coffee. And no luck.

I want to ween myself off --- but I don't wanna be 5'2 and gain like 30-40 pounds trying to do so. F**k that.
