I can't live like this anymore. So I'm happy so far that I was able to reduce my dosage.
Imagine trying to balance the demands of teaching, parenting, and managing ADHD, anxiety, and depression—all while attempting to break free from a 15-year Adderall dependency. In this episode titled 'Day 1', Cassandra takes us through the raw and real experience of reducing her daily Adderall dosage by 75%. Spoiler alert: it's not a walk in the park. Cassandra opens up about the struggles she faces in trying to prioritize her work as a teacher while weaning off the medication.
She talks about the constant battle with her workaholic tendencies and the need to let things go, which is easier said than done. With standardized testing looming—a major trigger for her—the stakes couldn't be higher. But Cassandra isn’t just sharing her woes; she’s offering a lifeline. She dives into the various treatment options that have helped her, like DBT therapy, supplements, and support groups. Her goal? To equip others with the tools they need to improve their lives.
Ever wondered how someone plans to be social without the crutch of medication? Cassandra has some thoughts on that too. Her journey is filled with ups and downs, but it’s also packed with hope and actionable advice. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or mental health challenges. Cassandra's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of support systems.
