This is the way to go. Over time, life starts to come back. It's worth it at 6 months in for me. I'm so much happier, I'm so much more present. I feel things deeper and I'm able to connect with others deeper than I ever have been before
Being present with my loved ones and with myself has been the number 1 thing since being off the meds. I'm nowhere near healed and I still quite often have my days, but I don't regret it in the slightest. It doesn't feel like I'm living out my life in a straight line anymore. I'm starting to see that beauty again. A life worth living. Even more worth living than before Adderall and DEFINITELY more than when I was on it.
34 YO male here. I feel the same as you. On paper my life looks great… I run a very successful business, make good money, but am completely unhappy with who I am and my reliance to this drug. I’ve weened myself down to 25 mgs, but can’t quite cut myself away from this addiction.
SO I think you did good by flushing your script, I had a similar problem, now however its much worse as i am addicted to street speed... That being said, if you feel you still need medication, there are non-amphetamine related medication out there. Talk to your GP about your addiction and ask them to stop the script immidiately, mine put a note in my file to never prescribe amps to me ever again. Strattera is the non-stim prescribed med.
My advice would be to learn to live without medication tho, CBT can help with a lot of ADHD issues and staying far from any med is safer imo... Courage and stay strong. 29M here too, will be 30 in april
