Hey man, I feel your struggle. I haven't abused my Concerta prescription, but I know how easy it is to do it (I have friends who have abused amphetamines). The only advice I can give you (which you almost certainly already know) is to actively avoid putting yourself in the situations that lead you to take it when you know you're not supposed to. You already know how much it sucks to not have it when you need it, maybe you can use that as the stick part of a carrot/stick strategy to help change those habits. I'm rooting for you man.

Thanks. The hard part is that delayed gratification is very hard for me. I can somewhat get by when I run out by popping caffeine pills. The problem is that it is pretty much impossible to keep myself out of the situation of wanting to take Adderall at night because it happens when I'm taking my nightly meds, which I just can't avoid. The other option would be to switch off of the Adderall onto something else but I'm afraid I'll be falling asleep at my desk again.

Thanks for your advice though.
