I've been taking Adderall XR fairly regularly for over a year. During this time of year, I'm off work and get the idea in my head to go off the medication and just check in with what I am REALLY like. I've been off the Adderall for 5 days and I am bouncing off the wall. I haven't slept the last few nights...weird dreams and general anxiousnes/restlessessness. Although I've been able to function, my thoughts have just been running in all directions and I haven't felt like doing anything productive. Luckily I've stuck to my To Do List and forced myself to at least do a little bit of productive thought. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get in the zone and crank stuff out without the medication.

I've decided that I am going to start back on it tomorrow. I have stuff that needs to get done.
