That's great! I know I can't go cold turkey. I did a couple of weeks ago because I didn't have the money to buy it. I was so sick (throwing up) and had a seizure and other nasty effects. But I am glad you made it through!!
Let us know how the Parnate goes for you. I wish you all the best. :)

> I quit my Adderall XR 30mg cold turkey about 4 days ago. The first 2-3 days were pretty bad. Very lethargic and exhausted feeling, as well as reduced motor ability and memory. I feel like I'm pretty much over it now though so it wasn't too bad. Just 3 days of sticking it out. I was also taking tyrosine and Wellbutrin though so that may have helped. Today was my last day of Wellbutrin. I'm stopping all drugs to start Parnate next week. Yippee!!!
