PUSHMAG: The Active Issue

KICKING ADDERALL TO THE CURB WITH MUSHROOMS?
**the following is an anecdotal tale shared by one of our readers who wishes to remain anonymous**
She had been on Adderall for only six months the first
time she realized she wanted to get off of it. A steady
diet of 40mg a day had resulted in a work-a-holic lifestyle
and a personal life that was losing its emotional substance.
Toss a couple vodka drinks on top of that and it was
a recipe for relationship disaster.
She was confident she could begin to taper off
Adderall. And that she did—with the help of another substance,
Vyvanse. While this pharmaceutical allowed her to
work down to 10mg of Adderall a day, she was now taking
another pill everyday. This came with another host of problems,
which is when she came to the conclusion that she
wanted any and all pharmaceutical stimulants out of her life
and her body. At this point, she had been prescribed these
medications for over a year; and though she was able to stop
taking the Vyvanse and get down to 5 mg a day of Adderall,
that last little pill remained hard to shake.
Deciding to follow the advice of a friend, she took a
small handful of microdose mushroom capsules. Needing to
take a road trip for work, she packed her bags, grabbed her
mushrooms and elected to not fill her Adderall prescription
before she left town. Over the next two weeks she took one
capsule every three days.
As of the printing of this article, she has been off
Adderall for six months. p
