Re: Dextroamphetamine, getting OFF, please help!?

Hi, on web md they list these side effects: "Nausea, stomach upset, cramps, loss of appetite, diarrhea, dry mouth, headache, nervousness, dizziness, trouble sleeping, sweating, weight loss, irritability, and restlessness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly."


You will need to tell your doc you want to ween off the this. I was on an antidepressant (risperidone 3mg, citalopram 40 mg) and did not tapper off. I was also drinking every night and smoking marijuana. Yup, what a wreck I was. Cold turkey. I felt like crap for 3 weeks. Dizzy, angry, mood swings. I feel better now, off the stuff, than I have in the past 5 years of being on it. I have also lost over 35 pounds. Do your self a favor and tell your doc you want off. You also would be doing yourself a favor by eliminating sugar, salt, coffee, flour, all processed foods, all cooked foods, alcohol and all drugs. You will basically wan to do a RAW food diet. Your doc will probably want you to get on something else, I know this to be true! Mine did. I told him I was detoxing and had already stopped taking everything I mentioned above. And he still said it would be a good idea. He said a low dose would be "okay" during my detox. HA! Nope. I am doing fine thank you, doc. If he/she gives you a hard time you can talk to CCHR . org. I am new to this forum but already I see a lot of support here and sure you'll find what you need. Good luck to you.
