One Addiction Replaced By Another! Ah Marijiana And Adderall Posted: 07-11-07 10:50am
so I've recently quit smoking pot after 4
years of heavy every day use and quit
taking adderall after 2 years of taking
about 60 mg a day I felt great for a
while.. but now my bulimia has gotten
worse than ever I think about food
constantly it's horrible.. I'm so
depressed that I'm worse off than when I
was a pothead the depression keeps me from
doing things that need to be done.. I
really don't know what to do when I took
the adderall I ate healthy in small
amounts all day and felt happy it ceased
my binging and the weed gave me something
else to do instead of eat when I was
distracted.. I try workign out but by the
time I get home from work I am too full /
tired to do anything but get upset with
myself.. I'm open to ANY suggestions..
Help!

im in sort of the same situatuion as you
but i only tried weed couple times. i
would take adderall for my binging urges
since i had anorexia/bulimia. i would get
very depressed as well and the adderal
helped with that . but i never ate when i
took adderal . it made me completly lose
my apetite. i couldnt even look at food
without gagging . i only used adderal a
couple times and i stopped because the
side effects are making my depression
worse. i dont binge and purge anymore and
im going to a counslor. i suggest to stop
taking adderal . although it helps at the
moment, the side effects make things twice
as bad as they are. my depression was bad
but it got worse from adderall. and weed
gives you the munchies !! so the combo of
adderall and weed isnt very smart. i have
had bulimia for 2 years so i know what you
are going through. it sucks big time . the
way i sort of drifted away from binging
was by getting enough sleep .i stopped
giving excuses for myself. i made sure to
keep myself busy. and watching movies
helped alot cause it took my mind of
food. when i was hungry i would drink a
large glass of water to help bloat my
tummy and then eat but i wouldnt just grab
things and eat them . i would grab the
things i wanted to eat and then take a
plate and put everything on the plate. if
my plate was overflowing with food then i
removed things until it only covered just
the plate. i ate slowly for self control .
sooner or later i just gave up my bulimia
. and now im trying to overcome anorexia.
ahh man too many problems

Hello,
I have been smoking pot daily for 4 years
and am trying to quit now. The truth is,
I was sick for many years and got
depression, and all the antidepressants
made me sicker or crazy. The pot is what
got me through a lot of s... There is a
reason why they want to legalize it in
Canada and why medical marijuana helps a
lot of sick people. I went to a
naturopath few months ago and she is
giving me homeopathic medicine to help my
body heal itself. I have done a lot of
damage to myself (liver etc) with
prescription medicines that I took like
candy for years. I am starting to feel
better, it is like magic, that is why I am
quitting pot. But pot was my crutch to
function in life. It took my nausea away
and helped me cope with daily life. I
never got lazy, I just needed it to get
through the day etc. If you would like to
know which natural doctor to go to I would
be happy to help. I was like a guinea pig
for years to doctors and it just got me
sicker. But in the meantime, pot is better
than other drugs, including legal
prescriptions. Hope you feel better and
God bless.
