Ultimate Iron Supplements

Iron deficiency is often directly correlated with Attention Deficit Disorder. Take guest-author Lilah’s advice and up your Iron intake after quitting Adderall. These are the specific supplements recommended by Lilah in her epic article. Here’s an excerpt: “When I said I was going to try quitting Adderall, my psychiatrist recommended Enzymatic Therapy Ultimate Iron, which uses ferrous succinate, and does not cause gastrointestinal side effects and is very well absorbed.”

Zinc Supplements

A lack of Zinc, like a lack of Iron, can contribute to ADD symptoms. Be sure to read guest-author Lilah’s excellent post for more insight on how supplementing zinc can help smooth your post-Adderall recovery. Lilah didn’t mention a specific brand, but this eye-dropper bottle will give you total control over dosage. All the zinc pills are 50mg/day, but Lilah advises against taking that much long-term.

Thriving Through Crisis
Turn Tragedy and Trauma Into Growth and Change 

I stumbled across this book at a garage sale shortly before I quit Adderall. Little did I know then that this book would near single-handedly get me through the rough parts of quitting Adderall. I will never forget this book, and neither will I forget the strange and perfect timing of how I found it. Awesome, awesome book.

The Artist’s Way
A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity 

As fru-fru as this book sounds, it was recommended to me be an intensely serious woman with an expensive suit and an MBA. This book contains 30 exercises that help “blocked” artists (or wounded/neglectful artists) become unblocked and on fire. It sounds like bullshit. It’s not. This book will help you rekindle and use those creative passions that you’ve been smothering to death on Adderall. It’s like rehab for creative types. If I had not practiced the exercises in The Artist’s Way, this website probably wouldn’t exist.

Atlas Shrugged

Atlas Shrugged is ranked as the 2nd most influential book of all time, next to The Bible. It’s an incredible book, by an incredible woman. That said, I almost left this off because it would be absolutely catastrophic to read this during your recovery period. This book will ignite your desire to work like nothing else; don’t read it while you’re engine is still busted. Repair your engine. Then read it. If you read it too soon you’ll want to start popping pills and working around the clock again.

The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book

I’ve read all of the Calvin and Hobbes collection books. This one is uniquely different because it includes extensive commentary from the reclusive Bill Watterson himself, in which he reveals his thought process behind many of the most iconic strips. This book is not just a coffee-table skimmer. It’s worth reading cover-to-cover to learn the behind-the-scenes story of Calvin and Hobbes, as told by it’s humble, quietly brilliant creator.

Stimudent Toothpicks

Ah, my beloved Stim-U-Dent toothpicks: the most conveniently packaged mint toothpick ever. It’s been more than two years since my last cigarette, but I will still buy these on a occasion if I’m going out with friends who are heavy smokers, just so I have something to do. Trust me, if you’re going to quit smoking, these will help. And you’re going to want a lot of them, so click the button and buy a 10 pack.

IronMan Sports Watch

My IronMan sports watch keeps proving its value workout after workout. If you’re getting into exercise (especially running), buy yourself a basic sports watch. You just need something with a stopwatch and a countdown timer on it, but you can’t go wrong with Timex’s IronMan series. I use mine for everything from ab-exercises (“I’m holding this plank until my countdown timer beeps done!”) to timing my runs and swims. One time I even used it to count laps in the pool (I’d let it count up 1 second after each lap).

iPod

You probably already have one of these. But on the off chance you’ve never worked out to music before, go buy one and start. Music totally changes the workout experience, most of all with running. I never really liked running until the first time I took off on a night run with some new tunes in my ears.

Waterproof iPod Case by H2O Audio

(with crappy headphones)

OK, I bitched a lot about this thing. But really, the case itself is pretty comfortable and reliable. If I were good enough at swimming to actually get bored and desire music, then I would buy this case (H2O Audio Interval) all over again. But I would mail those included earbud headphones back to H20 audio with a nasty latter and some angry, violent crayon drawings. If you’re a long distance swimmer, pick yourself up one of these, and then go buy some headphones for it that actually stay in your ear (see below).

Good Waterproof Headphones

Fact: All waterproof iPod cases come with crappy headphones. Do yourself a favor and spend a little cash on a separate pair of headphones. When I get better at swimming, I’m going to give swimming + music another try, and this time I’m going to buy me some headphones that stay in my ear. My money will be going for these sweet-looking Speedo headphones. First, they have ear clips, which is a must. Second, the buds look like ear-plugs, which probably means they stay in even without the ear clips. Third, it’s by Speedo, and I’ve never bought a Speedo product that wasn’t awesome.

Heart Rate Monitor Watch

I made two mistakes with my previous Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) watch purchase: 1. I didn’t really need an HRM watch yet and was just impulse-buying because my brother had one and it was cool. 2. I didn’t do any research and just bought the absolute cheapest one I could find ($25). Now, as I prepare for my first sprint triathlons, I’m starting to want a good HRM watch so I can pace myself better. But this time I’ve done more research, and my money’s going to this well-received, glowingly-reviewed model to the left that also happens to be a Timex Ironman product (a brand that I already adore).

    Ironic that Atlas Shrugged is on here– and that it’s praised so heavily throughout this entire website. Ayn Rand was an amphetamine user (benzedrine, dexedrine, dexamyl). What a great role model for people trying to kick the habit! The fantasy world of Atlas Shrugged is only attainable if one, like Rand, is using (and, by some accounts, abusing) prescription stimulants. Just google “Ayn Rand amphetamines.”

    – I would like to express some thnaks to you for bailing me out of such a challenge. As a result of searching through the world-wide-web and obtaining techniques which are not pleasant, I was thinking my entire life was well over. Being alive without the solutions to the issues you have solved as a result of your guide is a critical case, as well as those which could have badly affected my career if I hadn’t encountered your web page. Your primary capability and kindness in playing with a lot of stuff was useful. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t come across such a step like this. It’s possible to at this time look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for this impressive and sensible help. I won’t be reluctant to recommend your web sites to anybody who should get guidelines about this subject.November 4, 2012 10:49 pm
