Going cold turkey off 40 mg of adderall a day and calling it addiction is a slap in the face to people who have dealt with real addiction. As someone who has used Adderall at this level and stopped cold turkey and someone who has also been a heroin addict, stopping adderall cold turkey is a fucking joke compared to heroin addiction. Alcohol addiction also has the potential to be unbearably uncomfortable, not to mention deadly.
