HELP! I took adderall for ADD but it would lose its effectiveness and I had to keep raising the dose. After I got up to 60 mgs my doctor told me he would not raise my dose. I started to abuse my meds to try and regain the same focus, and motivation that I had when I first started the meds. I had to get help and get off adderall. Now without adderall I feel depressed, scatterbrained, overwhelmed by every task. I miss feeling of enjoying my day and being productive. I feel like a shell of who I used to be. Has anyone else been through this?
