Adderall withdrawal and how to cope

Hey all,

I’m in a pretty vulnerable state right now and would love to hear any advice there is to offer to get through this.

It’s been a hard pill to swallow in admitting I am addicted to adderall and it’s quite embarrassing to me for some reason to tell anyone close to me. I am going through this alone and I am doing it to be a better version of myself.

I cannot handle the withdrawal, though. I am experiencing uncontrollable crying at any given moment and irritability. I have also felt the brain zaps symptoms which to me feel like TV static. It’s really hard to explain but it’s not painful, just uncomfortable. I feel like I’ll never be normal again and I don’t know what I should be doing to relieve myself.

I want to stay strong and not relapse because I cannot handle the withdrawal. I believe adderall is a very beneficial drug when taken appropriately, but it’s an ugly beast to overcome once you take more than you should and become addicted. I just want to feel like myself again.
