Ever wondered what it’s like to taper off a medication you've relied on for over a decade? Cassandra takes us on a raw and honest journey through Day 17 of her mission to reduce her Adderall dosage. She’s been on this medication for nearly 15 years, and the road to freedom is anything but smooth.
Yesterday was a bit of a stumble, but today, she’s managed to get through the workday on just half her usual dose, and she’s feeling pretty proud of herself for it. In this episode, Cassandra shares the ups and downs of her tapering process. She opens up about the fear that creeps in when she’s tempted to revert to her full prescription. But it’s not just about the dosage; it’s about finding the right support system too.
Cassandra talks about her hunt for a psychiatrist who understands her needs and can guide her through this challenging phase. She’s considering alternatives like Modafinil and Vyvanse, hoping they might offer a better way to manage her ADHD symptoms without the dependency. Cassandra’s story is more than just a personal struggle; it’s a testament to the importance of self-acceptance and the courage to seek help.
She reminds us that battling addiction is a complex journey filled with small victories and setbacks. Through her experience, listeners can find inspiration and perhaps a bit of their own story reflected back at them. If you’re grappling with addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers a glimpse into the resilience needed to overcome such challenges. Cassandra’s candid reflections provide hope and practical insights into the difficult yet rewarding path of recovery.
