adderall prescription question | ADHD Information

I would call your doctor and see what can be worked out. I would also look into Narcotics Anonnymous. You say you want to stop, but you will need support. Be honest with your doctor that you are still using, but tell him that yo are taking clear steps to stop. Be careful, though, about your stims. if you have an addictive personality. These drugs can be highly addictive, and I would hate for you to develop any issues with it. Good Luck!

Hi, Last month I went to a doc and got prescribed adderall. (10 mg 3 x day). I told him I smoke pot and have been for the past 2 yrs, and he sugested I stop for a few months before he gives it to me. (fyi- pot has like an opposite efect on me, it modivates me. He did not really believe this though. I also told him I used adderall in the past, my room mate was on it and I had some and when I use it I use less pot and he said it was probally not due to the adderall) but anyways- I told him I probally can not stop the pot as I tried many times in the past. He talked with me a little more and he decided to give me a 10 mg 3x day prescription. Now he said "how would you know if this is working" and I said better grades ect. He said how would you know over the summer? and I told him I would do better with my buisness (I have my owne buisness I started). He said ok. Now, he gave me no refills and said he wants me to re-book an appt in 4-5 weeks. Well I have a new appt. with him on the 14th, but I ran out of pills 2 days ago. I would say I did litte to no work, probally 5 hours total. With adderall, the past few weeks I worked like 60 hour weeks. I have little motivation now. If I go smoke I can work for a few hours but thats all. I really dont want to smoke more just to get my work done.

My ? is should I call them and ask for a prescription for 8 more days worth of pills, or try to get an appt. sooner? I really can not addord to only work 3-4 hours per day. I usually require 5 hours sleep per night, last night I went to bed earlyer then usual because I was going to take a nap then work a few hrs, but ended up just going to bed. I woke up and to my amazment it was 12:30 pm! I dont think I slept so much in my life. I just dont want the doc to think I am abusing the pills or something so thats why I figured I would get advice before calling. thanks
