Why am I wanting adderal so bad?

I've bought adderal twice in the last month. The first time it was the extended release capsules. However, once I tried it, I liked them and then just here two weeks ago I bought 10 forty-milligram tablets and used the 400mg. in just three days. I have some mechanisms put into place with my therapist to call him if I consider buying anymore and using them. I am very concerned since I recently considered buying synthetic LSD. It almost seems like I went from just marijuana to amphetamines in a matter of a month. Any other ideas on how I could prevent myself from buying more tuesday when I get paid? My therapist says to call him and he'll talk through it with me. I mean before I do it that is! Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. My college education depends on it!

Put some other systems in place .. maybe give your check to a close family member or friend who you can confide in and let them know what's going on. So they won't give you money -- unless it's for rent, or essentials.

I would also recommend you go to some n/a meetings, where you can meet people who are in your shoes, and find a sponsor whom you can call in situations like this for support! I also recommend being evaluated for an outpatient treatment. program I'm not sure if you are coming down off anything.. or are currently sober;

It sounds like you are trying to escape from something and you are escalating, with risky behaviors. It would benefit you to continue mental health counseling and perhaps some med evaluation and stabilization through your local mental health center.

I am glad you are here asking for help! Stay strong. You can do it!

College stress is affecting you and you did the right thing by telling your therapist. You need to learn other ways to deal with the stress instead of taking a pill to numb yourself. How about getting into the habit of going for a walk or a jog every day? It will make you feel better both mentally and physically.

You sound like you have a head on your shoulders, recognizing you have a problem before it becomes full blown. What nurse23 said about letting someone you can trust, handle your money is a great idea. To an addict, money is a trigger and you are an addict because you are taking a medication for reasons other then what it was designed for.

Try to keep your mind occupied so you won't think of using but take time out once in a while to do something for YOU!

NA meetings are a great place to find extra support to help you stay clean.

Good Luck and God Bless!

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
