Suggest Treatment To Stop Addiction Of Adderall
Hi,
I'm a 19 year old college student and have recently began taking very small dosages of adderall recreationally. I bought about 10 15mg pills of it (not XR) 7-8 months ago and now have about 2 left. I don't intend to buy more anytime soon. I do not find that I NEED it to study and normally take it only if I am reading something of little interest to me (a class outside my major, etc.). Usually though, I like to take it when I go out to parties, etc. because I enjoy the sensation in social situations especially. The most frequently I've ever done it is 1/4-1/2 a pill (like 3mg-8mg I guess) three times in one week on different days. I've also taken a whole pill once or twice before (but probably had at least a month in between). Mostly, I just don't want to develop any sort of dependency and am wondering if I even need to be legitimately concerned with that given my history of usage. Thank you for any help!

FROM THE INFO GIVEN BY U, I DO AGREE THAT U HAVE TAKEN VERY LOW DOSES OF THIS PILL. BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT TWO THINGS-
1. SMALL THINGS ONLY LEAD TO BIG THINGS. HENCE SMALL DOSES CAN PAVE THE WAY FOR HIGHER/BIGGER DOSES. SO BETTER TO PUT A FULL-STOP NOW ITSELF
2.RECREATIONAL USE OF THESE TYPES OF DRUGS ONLY LEADS TO DEPENDENCE AND ADDICTION. IF U STUDY BEHAVIOR OF ADDICTS AND TAKE THEIR HISTORY, U WILL FIND THAT MOST OF THEM STARTED WITH RECREATIONAL USE ITSELF.
ADDERALL USUALLY DOES NOT CAUSE PHYSICAL DEPENDENCE. BUT IT CAN CAUSE PSYCHOLOGICAL DEPENDENCE AND HABITUATION. SO THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO STOP ITS USAGE WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT
REMEMBER NO SUBJECT REMAINS BORING ONCE U START TAKING GENUINE INTEREST AND READ IT WITH ENTHUSIASM
