im gonna try to cut down on my adderall just because i dont feel it's the best idea to be constantly on a stimulant. i know its best to ask my doctor but does anyone have any tips on how to do this for about a week or two or what to expect? i just need a little break. anyone have any ideas? thanks.

hrmm well two times ive stopped my adderall cold turkey, but i get really really bad withdrawl from it. I would sleep for about 16 hours a day and just feel like crap and be on edge for about a week. I was taking 25 mg xr and 10 mg boosters daily. My doctor said that he would titrate me down the next time i wanted to stop, so basically give me smaller and smaller doses over a period of time until i take no adderall. That's probably the best way to do it.

I guess I am lucky, but when I stop my Adderall sessions, I am only sleepy for about a day and a half, then I start to feel fairly normal again. I feel normal, feel great, but I just don't get diddly done! I can wash dishes and other small task as long as in short spurts.
