Hi All-
Any suggestions on how to ease off Vyvanse? I've been on 40-60 mg (40 now) for about 8 or so months, and I've tried tapering as well as cold turkey and I'm experiencing horrible withdrawal symptoms (it's akin to a mix between opiate and benzo withdrawal). I'm suffering so horribly I've even considered doing a medical detox, which is really the last thing I want to do.
Thoughts? Suggestions? I've been "at war" w/ my pdoc so he's utterly useless. I originally went on it to help my MDD as well as for motivation and to help reinforce a regular sleep cycle. Unfortunately, at this point, it's compounded my depression in the form of irritability and melancholia, and I really want off.
Thanks in advance.
