Hi. I am a professional female in my late 30s and have been addicted to adderall for close to 7 years. I do not have ADD or ADHD - and sought out adderall to help conquer the unrelenting desire to take daily naps - which YES ... is probably related to depression. I had also been on zoloft for many years until i decided to get off --- ever so slowly ---- with success.

While I have always been someone more of the "tired" side - adderall instantly provided me with the physical and mental stamina to manage my life.

Currently I typically take between 60-120mgs daily .... its the first thing i seek out in the morning. While I have tried, a few times, to quit - the first day or two have always been unbearable .... I literally could not and had no interest to get out of bed. In fact, I had no energy or interest to do anything -- I felt awful ....

SO .... I have finally realized and accepted my addiction and want to find out 'the best plan for getting off adderall ....." no matter what I must do.

My questions are:

Is it best to find an inpatient detox center to check into for a week or two? While I certainly dont like the idea -- I can definately see the benefit of being out of my environment - in a place where I cant decide by day 2 that its too difficult ..
or

is it best to find a local psychologist and medical doc to see during this time?

I just want to find out what treatment plan facilitate the highest rate of success ....... as you can probably tell .. I just want to put this behind me .....

Any info would be appreciated
