In reply to adderall/suicide...please help, posted by tmalicia on July 27, 2006, at 11:56:35
Adderall and other stimulants helped me during the day but I would crash at night. Adderall was the best one though ... I came down slowly. Anyhow, if you are a danger to yourself ... stop the Adderall and at least leave a message for your doctor.
Ritalin and Dexedrine made cut in the evening ... that's how badly I crashed.
Take care of you.

I can't go to my psychiatrist yet because of the money situation and don't know what to do -- do I stay on the adderall until I reach the recommended dosage (it was a script from a neurologist, btw, for fatigue)? Or do I quit right away because it's the most likely cause of my sudden crash?
