I went 4 weeks cold turkey off of dexamphetamine and vyvanse, it was agony and it never got better, is this normal?
It was pure indescribable agony and hell, never got easier, this makes me feel like I can’t endure long enough to get better. Feel trapped. I can’t articulate how bad it felt. Time felt like it slowed down. No relief, even sleeping felt bad, but at least it sped the time up. I was bed ridden and psychologically paralysed with fear and pain and despair. Feeling chemically tortured every second, hot/cold, itching, terror, exhaustion without comfort, feeling like I was going insane. I know it was only 4 weeks but it felt like much much longer. How am I supposed to make it long enough to feel okay again? I also have an underlying physical disability so my output is already significantly reduced, hence why the addiction arose as abusing the stimulants gave me the energy levels of a normal person for a time. Of course that didn’t last and now I’m worse off than when I started. Please how can I get through this next attempt, I gave up last time out of desperation for some relief as there was none otherwise. Please desperate for some advice and hope that I can survive it or that it doesn’t have to be as bad as last time.
