It's twice as hard being a married woman. I had to stop my meds (dextroamphetamine) when I was pregnant with my son. Two months later, I had to quit my job. Just as before being diagnosed and starting treatment, I just could not keep up. Now, I am struggling with enjoying my career, but wanting another child. I will probably have to run a lot, as I did in HS, which really worked. However,try imagining some 7 months pregnant chick running three miles a day. I've noticed some: "I probably have it, but blah blah drug addiction...speed.." posts. I had no problem stopping the meds before I got pregnant. I just stopped. No cravings, just severe fatigue. My previous symptoms of ADHD just crept back, as much as I tried to deny it. Withdrawal does not equal returning to the state you were in BEFORE you took a drug. I hear you.

He was wrong. I hated Vyvanse. It did nothing for. It felt like the old horrible days before I was given Adderall. He did up my dosage to 40 mg., but now after two months, he is putting me on my first Adderall "holiday." Last night I had the very restless/disturbed sleep and my speech is back to starting sentences but never finishing. If I need to do holidays off of Adderall I will, however, I will never go off of it and return to that unfocused and unproductive life I had for 49 years.

I posted a couple of years ago about becoming a successful architecture student thx to adderall and I am still hanging in there. I have never taken the drug daily and reserve it for times of desperation, but I have come to the conclusion that if I could perform at the level I don on adderall everyday then some things would propably be going better for me and I am tempted to start taking it daily. Vyvanse is the new thing, but it is really just a marketing ploy from shire to keep there patents alive, but I do prefer it to adderall so far. Right now I am coming down from it and can tell you that it is no miracle drug, but I did manage to write paper as well as ace a test today. I don't mind how I am when I don't take Adddy, but there is no way that I could get through the drudgery that is required from me if I wan't to become an architect, let alone a great one. I am an artist to some degree and am capable of working on a painting for like three days straight with no drugs, but then the next day, I lose interest and don't take my skills to the next level. It sucks feeling that you are not talented at anything just, because you don't have the discipline, or sustained interest that is necessary to develop any type of "talent". I am also more social and less preoccupied with what others think when I am on the drug, so I just don't know. Maybe I will give vyvanse a month long trial (it's free) and weigh the benefits, but depression is the thing that scares/effects me the most. I enjoyed your posts and look forward to more, BTW running helps! Hey everybody, glad to see that this thread is still alive.
