WHAT’S ADDERALL WITHDRAWAL COSTING YOU?
You probably started taking Adderall so you can be more present and effective in all aspects of your life, whether it’s school, work relationships or just everyday life. As your addiction worsens, however, the drug may have ended up costing you all of the things you love, and you find yourself getting in deeper and deeper. Maybe your doctor has cut off your prescription, and you’re forced to go on the street for pills or steel them from friends or loved ones. Perhaps you started taking the drugs when you were a teenager and continued to use to get through things like college exams. Suddenly it’s years later, and the drug you were taking as a teenager has become an addiction in your adulthood.
In addition to physical and psychological withdrawal, Adderall abuse can also create serious quality of life issues, including strained relationships with their families, decline in professional and academic performance, legal issues and more. In an ironic twist, withdrawal eventually renders you unable to focus, leaving you worse off than when you started taking Adderall in the first place. You don’t have to fight this hard battle on your own.
