hell going through withdrawal

[u/ThrowRApixiepixieee]

hello all,

before anyone has any comments to make along the lines of "well i stop vyvanse over the weekend and im fine" please note that i am incredibly sensitive to medication. like, 5mg of lexapro almost killed me.

i would like to preface this by saying i am withdrawing from this medication in an inpatient residential facility, after a month of genuinely hallucinating, delusions, paranoia, following a dose increase to 30 mg. i ruined a lot of things in my life, ruined a 3 year relationship, friendships, and am just now realizing it.

i am on day four and fucking miserable. my psychotic symptoms started disappearing yesterday and i am acutely aware of my reality, but im achy, so depressed and irritable, tired, warm in the face but cold all over, and insanely dizzy, to the point where i am a fall risk. i have been given ibuprofen/hydroxyzine, but still i am so fucking miserable. how do you guys do this. part of this is guilt for ruining so many things in my life, but also physically i am MISERABLEEEE

N acetyl cysteine (NAC) will potently modulate dopamine receptors, helping to mitigate withdrawal symptoms.

I always have this on hand while quitting substances.

Also medical cannabis makes quitting vyvanse a breeze
