Today was day 3 without Adderall (1st work day) & I felt extremely tired and sleepy all day. Any ideas on how to make my detox go easier? My 1 cup of Starbucks cold brew was useless lol

Thanks PwC1. Today is day 10 and honestly I’m feeling better than I have in the last year. I’m so glad I bit the bullet and decided to get off addy. The first few days I was so tired so I really tried to listen to my body and lay down and take a quick power nap when I was too tired. I’m also drinking a lot of coffee to stay up and at em, 300-400mg of caffeine per day. I know it’s a lot but it’s helping

Amazing, OP! Advice: flush the rest. I was hesitant to do this bc wasting precious supply seemed insane, but if you really mean it... flush it. And hey, you could always get more if you ever needed it. I didn’t flush it the first time I tried this and took it again when I had stressful week with a tight deadline. Second time I quit, I flushed it and never looked back.

Anyone got any ideas for detoxing from Fenty?

If you mean fentanyl then detox. Almost no one makes detox from opiates on their own without subs or something. I say this as someone that's been to multiple rehabs with opiate addicts. Almost all of them only ever successfully kicked in jail or detox.

Should I maybe hold off a year and apply to a slightly higher ranking school?

QUESTION – can Florida taxable income be reduced for depreciation for which no tax benefit has been derived due to the federal 469 limitations? It is also worth noting that we have multi-year 469 carryovers into 2019. Also, we know California allows for this type of State level offset so that the state 469 c/o will be different than federal.

If this was not a closely held corp subject to 469, there would be no issue here as the current year NOL would exceed the bonus depreciation add back.

Just wanted to post an update. 68 weeks ago I posted about my drinking problems. It was bad. It’s been 8 months now without a single drink. I still can’t believe it. I still miss drinking. I’ve sat with coworkers and watched them drink. It’s not nearly as fun, but I am so thankful each morning I can hold my head up high. Will I drink again? I only said I would quit for 60 days. Can I have a beer? Some wine? A fine bourbon? I sometimes crave it. I guess there is the answer! You can all do this!
