It took me 6 months to get back to a decent baseline after quitting Adderall cold turkey but I am really glad I did. I hate being dependent on a drug with limited access for survival. In all honesty it is truly no different than being an alcoholic or a crack addict. Virtually every interaction you ever have with a psychiatrist or pharmacist surrounding these meds is fraught with bullshit. It is easier, less stressful and arguably more dignified buy illegal drugs on the black market.

Covid was a sobering event for me and it made me realize just how fragile our global economy / supply chain are. I want to be able to exist and survive even in a total collapse (which, tinfoil hat be damned is becoming a more and more realistic possibility). Step 1 was giving up the amphetamine salts.
