This drug was pulled off of Canada's market as the side effects are hazardous to your heatlh. Many of the symptoms that you describe are identified on this website. Beware of psychiatry and meds. Have you investigated integrative or holistic health practices. Designing and maintaining a daily health routine may be the best thing you do for yourself. Take some responsibility for your health and wellbeing and don't depend on drugs to help you. They generally are helpful for short-term relief of 'some' symptoms. Then you will discover they cause more harm than you can imagine and very difficult to withdraw.

Hope this helps.

Have you ever had a hair analysis to see what chemical imbalances you may have?
I think you can do it through the mail via this guy.

(You take about a tablespoon of little clippings close to your scalp in different areas of your head...and mail it in.) At least that is what I and my family all did.
He's pretty thorough.

You sound like your having drug withdrawls. I put my 3rd grader on this crap for a few months...until the teachers started telling me I needed to go back and get a stronger dose. That's when we stopped the insanity. Its like your body becomes immuned to it after awhile. ( I guess she was fine during school...but after school, everyday we had to deal with her coming down off the stuff....glassy eyes...growling....). We did the hair analysis to see what she was lacking and what she had too much of. (My neighbor told me about this...because her son was/is
autistic...and his hair analysis came back with his aluminum count up off the chart. She was told to have him soak in a warm bath of EPSON SALT to draw the aluminum out of his body. She said it really helped him to focus better. He still has problems...but they are not as severe.)(Retesting him....the aluminum was almost all out of his body...so Epson salt works.)
Something else that might help: "Huperzine A & Ginkgo Biloba" (herbs)(focusing)
Lysine (for focusing), Tyrosine (for depression), B5 (motivation). Re-establishing
your nutritional balance really helps. My daughter is now in 8th grade...and has progressed well by these means....without having to be on any pharmacueticals.
Another very helpful thing "Yeast Fend" from VitaminShoppe. See if you can find someone to do a NUTRITIONAL testing on your blood. (Nutritional Bood Education Analysis/American Association of Drugless Practitioners)....
A blood test revealed she had alot of yeast floating around in her blood stream. Once we took care of that...
her focusing came even more in tune, and the hyperactivity went away. (Too much yeast in the blood will result in a chemical imbalance and diabetes, because the yeast eats up the necessary 'sugar' your body needs. Its all quite interesting.
I hope something I mentioned will help you. I'm glad your off the Adderol!
Godspeed! :)

I wanted to try adderall for alertness. can i buy your pills from you? will you give me your email address. seriously.

pharmacy student here, please don't ask why I'm on curezone.

So as for long term effects of adderall; you're taking amphetamines as you probably already know. Long term these have been shown to cause parkinson's disease.

Sometimes I find it hard to wrap my mind around this stuff; like why are they giving out amphetamines to kids when they know they can cause Parkinson's? We are told that the "benefit outweighs the risk" and these people have a neurotransmitter imbalance that is "corrected" by these stimulant drugs.

Truthfully, I wanted to get my hands on these to stay awake and study. Now i guess I'll just stick with cigs and coffee. Not worth it.

Oh, your withdrawals should subside in a couple of days to weeks. Probably not a good idea to quit cold turkey; a doctor would probably give you a benzodiazapine or hypnotic to calm you during this period. But I always find that if people know why they feel the way they do, they are better able to tolerate withdrawals.

Good luck
