Question: 37 year old male , 5 foot 8 , 170 lbs Chrons ,Acute chronic pancreatits, Gerd , Severe Adhd and depression. I went through 14 months of Mental stress that cannot be understated In a fight for my life. Being persecuted for a crime I did not commit that carried a 25 year sentence . I was aquited three months ago. During this time period I developed a severe addiction to adderall it was my crutch. Consuming up 200 mg a day.
I have very little doubt I am having insulin problems and have developed a heart murmer. I My symptoms are headache ,irritability ,shakes,fatigue ,anxiety . I eat an Apple , some chocolate etc they clear up Pretty quick.
this makes,me think sugar ?
as far as the adderall. I think my stomach acid neutralizes it or something. Is this possible ? I start with 40 mg ir And usually have to take another to see Any benefit and within 3 hours Its already wearing off . I used to be on 60 mg xr. Last. all day. But with no insurance ...I can't afford that. Without it I am a mess I am unable toatay awake and cry uncontrollably when it wears off even. becoming suicidal. I need help to be he8althy again . My current Dr has dropped me I just learned for bills. I get the stuff other places after my script runs out. I am aware how unethical that is but The alternative is worse .I need to know where I can go . If I walk into an ER with this and just tell the doctor will I get in a worse situation or will they help me ?

You need treatment urgently.
Visit an ER as soon as possible.

Treatment usually followed are:
1. tab escitalopram

Discontinue the Adderall. In ER your primary treatment will be free of cost. They will help you.

This is misconception that acid of stomach neutralize the Adderall. You are having withdrawal symptoms of Adderall like

Go for counselling side by side too. As it will help you a lot to overcome your present situation.

Hope my answer helped you.
