I know that I can find information about Adderal on the web but what I need is personal experience and advice. And the reason why I love this board is because of the love and the support of its members.
My husband's little sister, she is 19 is addicted to Adderal. She is taking over 100mgs a day. I don't know if that is lot or not, I just know that she is addicted to it and has been for almost a year. (You can think this about me, but if you check my posts I have never hid the fact that I am a recovering drug addict and that my drug of choice was benzos-not stimulants). I really am writing this because I want to reach out and help her before she makes the mistakes I made in my life. Two weeks ago she ran out of her medication and had to detox at her mom's house, but then she got her rx refilled and "promised" to take 1 a day like she is supposed to. Well I found out that she is not, and she is using again.
When I stopped taking Ativan cold turkey I had a w/d seizure because I did not know that would happen if I stopped taking the pills. I don't understand the make up of Adderal or other stimulants and what will happen if she keeps detoxing on her on becuase she is going through her RX to fast and then starting back on them at too high of a dose.
I'm not sure if I am making sense as to what I am trying to ask here. What are the dangers of Adderal abuse? Can she detox on her own, or should we be trying to get her into a clinic? Anyway, thank you for listening and I appreciate any advice you can offer. If you prefer to keep it off the boards please PM me. Thank you so much.
