" My son took Adderal for five years and when I lost my insurance - I couldn't pay for it. He went threw mood swings but then he felt better. He is not focused as well but he feels better (body & soul). It is very hard for me because of the constant disruptions but I am working on a schedule. You might need to write a schedule and stick to a morning schedule, afternoon and night. Limit the tv exposure - makes him loss track of time. No sugar - caffiene. Diet is important. Vitimans for sleep - valerian +. Natural stimulate will work opposite. Need calming natural remedies. My son has opposite chemistry being add/hd. Remember your system works opposite. Hope this helps!

" Do you have someone to help you keep track of how many pills you are taking? I try to keep my husband on track by putting his pills on DAILY containers labeled with the day (Mon, Tue, etc.) on each lid. If I give him the weekly containers he gets confused. Why did you abuse Adderall? Perhaps you need to try something else. Maybe you need to go to a different Dr. that can help you with this instead of refusing to give you what you obviously need. "

" Why take you off cold turkey and not put you on something different like Vyvance or whatever.

You need your brain. The ADD is not going to go away. You need a replacement med or a new doc.

Good luck. "
