Adderall Posted: 02-08-06 15:19pm
My husband has been taking adderal on and
off for 5 years now. He was off the
adderal for the pas year and is now back
on it. He went through his whole scrip
in a week an1/2. 60 tablet at 20 mg
each. In the past I have called his dr's
and they would no longer see him. I am
past that point now. I told him it was
the adderal or his family and he is still
thinking about it. I don't know what to
do I know he is an addict and I am at a
lost. Can someone please help.....

i was diagnosed with adhd
at the age of 6 and was put on ritalin.
Over the years I have been prescribed
various medications until 4 years ago the
doctors put me on adderallxr 60 mg's. I
am now 25 by the way and within the past
year or so began taking more than my
prescribed dose. I have not gone a day
without taking adderall since I began.
Lets just say I have extensive knowledge
in this field. Adderall is extremely
addictive from a psychological standpoint.
It is in the same class as cocaine and
those that I know who have done both have
told me that they prefer adderall.
Threatening your husband will only put
overwhelming amounts of pressure on him
and make it much more difficult for him to
quit. Comfort and encouragement would be
a much better approach. Of course he
will still think about it, and over time
those feelings should subside and if he
relapses, take it from there, but be there
for him. You have to understand that
this is going to be an extremely difficult
task, if not the hardest task he's ever
confronted. Professional help should be
considered if he is unable to succeed on
his own. Your husband needs
encouragement, comfort, and to know that
you will be there for him no matter what
in order to make things as easy as
possible. I hope I was not too late in
writing this message.
