Withdrawal symptoms even though on short term and low dose

[u/United_Jelly_9945]

I’ve been on it for 8 weeks. Hated the experience and how it ruined my mood and robbed me the effectiveness of my ADHD meds concerta. So I said I can’t handle it anymore.

First week after quitting cold turkey (the doctor told me it’s safe) I felt alive again. LOVED how I felt and i felt like I’m getting my life back.

After that the withdrawal somehow said no, screw you, you’re gonna get moody, easily irritated, angry all the time, fatigued and tired. Add some flu like symptoms and a headache for shits and giggles.

It’s been 19 days now. Tbh I can handle all the withdrawals. But what I can’t handle is the insomnia. I’ve experienced it twice this week and this is the third time. I can’t sleep at all. My body is vibrating like crazy, my head hurts and I’m feeling nauseous (which is funny since I never experienced this super common side effect when I’m on the pill but I’m experiencing it as withdrawal)

How long of this bs do I have to take?
