Hey, there! What are you wanting to slow down and stop?

Currently looking to stop the use of vyvanse. Am taking a high dose. Function on a high dose. How can I "live a normal functioning life (working)" while trying to figure out how to stop medication without withdrawals symptoms? Once I start trying to taper down I start sleeping too the point I can't wake up or have energy to do function.

@affableWatermelon7926 Hey! I can understand wanting to stop taking Vyvanse, I take it as well. I'm not a medical professional so I can't advise you how to taper and stop but I can give a couple of ideas.

Depending on how severe the withdrawals are, there may be a medication that can help with them that your prescribing doctor can help with.

What withdrawals are you experiencing exactly? I saw that you've been having a difficult time waking up, which makes sense. Are there any additional side effects/withdrawals that you're having?
