So,
I was on Vyvanse 70mg for a two years. I had a change in insurance and had to change Psychs (which I found one I really like) and have been going the past few months. Due to some insurance issues we decided to switch me to Adderall IR to decrease cost. After a month it was horrible and I was having horrible racing thoughts, panic attacks, etc. So we stopped to the Adderall IR for a few days to see if it would improve (we had also increased my Latuda dose so we were seeing which was effecting it).

Anyways,
my Psych is going out of town and was going to write me my script to pick up this week. I had said that since everything had calmed down and I had had no issues with Vyvanse AND my insurance issues were taken care of, if it would be okay to switch to the Vyvanse.

He ended up calling me back (I missed his call) and he said that he would rather just stop both the Adderall and Vyvanse until we meet on the 26th.

I start college classes next week (I decided to go back to school for nursing) and will now be going into a major summer semester that I have to pass...With no ADD medicine.

I am supposed to email him back and let him know (there are some other medicine changes he is going to do over the phone to the pharmacy) and wants to know what I think.

I'm honestly ticked...And going into classes is going to be hell not only for lack of concentration but also now going through withdrawls.

What should I say on my email? I don't want to seem like I am just trying to get pills but I just feel like it's a harsh decision to just end this medication with no warning and out of the blue...

What should I say on my email?
Ugh this is stupid.
