My recent interaction with my GP (or lack thereof) along with my continuing concerns over my ADHD diagnosis and treatment resulted in me making the decision take a step back and re-assess my situation. After my appointment on Friday I decided it was a good time to discontinue taking Adderall and see how I’m really doing. I see my T this week and have set this issue on our agenda. I’m off work at the moment, have no pressing deadlines, and with the holiday was planning on just chilling out around the house with family and friends. Well the first two days off this medication went really well. I felt a little sluggish the first day, and yesterday I was busy hosting a small cookout and didn’t notice much of a change being off the medication. So since the Adderall is supposed to be a relatively short acting drug I figured most of the withdraw effects would have occurred by now. NOT! Today I was hit pretty hard and am feeling the effects of being off the medication. We attended a parade today and I found myself a totally overwhelmed at one point with all the noise, all the people, and my 11 year old is hanging on me trying to get my attention. I started to get really agitated and hyper-sensitive I had to leave. So, if you were at a parade today and your friend suddenly got on her broom and flew away, cut her some slack...Iit might have been me suffering from mild withdraw. LOL
