ADD, ADHD
Medication And
Stimulants Pre-Taper
Starting Your Pre Taper
If you
are wondering how you will feel once you are off the
medication or during the withdrawal portion of the
program, you are not alone and that is a normal
question. Most people begin to feel a major improvement
once they start the pre-taper and the rest feel a
positive change once the medication begins to be
reduced.
I am assuming you were
prescribed this class of medication for Attention
Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder. The pre-taper and the supplements used in this
program will not only help eliminate withdrawal, but
will probably
give your body some basic nutrients it was
lacking before the diagnosis and are probably one of the
root causes of the symptoms you experienced.
What to do Next:
-
Consult with your prescribing physician and/or
pharmacist and layout your drug taper
schedule.
-
Plan out the second and third reduction of the
medication
as
well at this point to ensure you are ready with the
correct dosages of the drug.
Once you have read all of
the pre-taper section proceed to Chapter 17, “How to
Taper ADD, ADHD Medication and Stimulants” and fully
read it as well.
The Pre-Taper
For the
next 7-days you will be doing your pre-taper. You do not
reduce your medication during the pre-taper.
Goal of Pre-Taper
is the drastic reduction or elimination of all major side
effects.
Supplements You Will Take:
JNK Formula
Neuro Day
Neuro Night
Supplements:
ADHD
medication is different from other psychoactive medications
during withdrawal. You might alternate from being anxious
and having insomnia one week and then fatigued and dull for
the next few weeks and then back again to anxious and not
able to sleep.
The JNK Formula might handle both ends of the spectrum but
it may not be able to completely eliminate the anxiety,
insomnia, fatigue and a dull feeling.
The Neuro Day and Neuro
Night should do wonders for you with any other symptoms.
JNK Formula
– Take 1
capsule of the JNK in the morning first thin. Take the
second JNK Formula roughly 4 to 5 hours later..
Neuro Day –
Take 1 capsule in the morning 1 hour after the morning JNK
Formula. Take a second Neuro Day 4 to 5 hours later.
Neuro
Night –
Take 1 capsule 15 minutes before
bedtime. If you still do not have a sound sleep after 3
nights of this try taking the Neuro Night a little earlier
before going to be.
Refer to Chapter 3,
“Nutritionals Used on The Road Back Program” for additional
information.
Make sure to keep your daily Journal and Daily Graphs. The
pre- taper is really this simple. Do the pre-taper for 7
full days and then proceed to tapering off the medication.
