i was on adderall for awhile too.......man, what a drug!! some pretty weird thoughts creep into your mind after being awake for 100 hours with no food. they didn't take me off it, slowly or otherwise. i quit. because what i described above is about as far from the norm as it gets. withdrawing from amphetamines is no picnic my friend, i feel ya. you made it through that. energy drinks, sugar and crappy food should be a snap. all up to you. you want to sleep, quit ingesting crap! easier said than done, but there ya have it
