Well, I’ve been tapering off Adderall for over a month now, and, so far, things are going surprisingly well.
Imagine feeling tethered to a pill for 15 years, unable to imagine life without it. That's Cassandra's reality as she shares her ongoing journey of tapering off Adderall in this episode. Diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, and depression during her college years, Cassandra has relied on Adderall to manage her symptoms. But the dependency became too much, and she decided it was time to reclaim her life.
Now, over a month into tapering off, Cassandra talks about the surprising progress she's made and the challenges she's faced along the way. She dives into various treatment options like DBT therapy, amino acid supplements, and the support groups that have been her lifeline. Her story is not just about breaking free from a medication; it's about finding new ways to cope with mental health struggles and discovering a life that doesn't revolve around a prescription bottle.
Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Cassandra's candid account offers hope, practical advice, and a sense of solidarity. Tune in to hear how she's navigating this tough but rewarding path to freedom.
