I'm mourning the loss of my vyvanse script right now. I told pdoc how high strung I've been and hinted towards my stimulant that they've been comfortable renewing every month. In a way, I was tattling on myself in hopes to an end. She said "well simple! We'll quit the vynanse". I admit I started to shake and my heart started to pound. And you know what I did when I left there?? Went out and got adderall for a "one last night I swear!"
I'm still processing what this will mean. I'm still freaking out but this is also my chance to stop the cycle of binge, sleep, wash, repeat. I'm seeing some sort of light here (or is that my buzz?  ). I'm actually grieving here I think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

How long have you been taking Vyvanse? lisdexamfetamine and alprazolam were definitely my favorite medications. I've given myself a year break off the stimulants. You'll be fine. Just give your body a break

Been taking it for a few months now! It's for sure done a number on me mentally. To the point where my psych meds weren't even touching me anymore. I just want to recover in my head and get back to my old self. They left me a cold shell of a person and I swear that after this night, I am done. Tomorrow is a new day and a new beginning for sure. I'm on a mission to get my mental health back before I land in IP for real lol

Squirmy- it is very hard. Every month I blew through my script in a week and fall into a deep depression and crash right after and I'd sleep for days. It's time I get off this roller coaster for good
Moogie- I'll be honest... I still take a quarter of suboxone every other day to avoid withdraw but in no way am I catching a buzz. As far as stims go, i have to be done if I want to save my sanity. This med has put everything into jeopardy including my relationship. I'm actually relieved my pdoc took me off it. Anxious about it, yes. But it needed to be done months ago.

How's it going? Staying off the uppers today? I don't want to condone using any drugs, but i found kratom to be a miracle for opiate withdrawal and is legal. I wasn't sick at all and had plenty energy, only thing i went through was some minor depression after i stopped the kratom that lasted a few days.

Bobbyj- no uppers today. Hopefully none for a very long time. As far as my sources go, I really only have one other than my own script and that's even like pulling teeth. I've actually heard of kratom before but never heard of anyone I know even using it. Around where I live norcos are the thing. I find that if I take a norco or tylenol #4 that my sub withdraw goes away but I don't have any sources for that either. Actually opiates where really never my thing. Weird I know. I happened to stumble on subs in a desperate attempt to quit drinking. At first I fell in love but now they do nothing for me except keeping me from withdraw, and sub withdraw is far worse than your regular opiates

Kratom is an opioid and is cheap and safe, can be addicting though if you use it for too long. I've been hooked on subutex, opanas, mostly any painkiller, and dope lol, luckily not for too long and after a recent binge i took kratom for a week and it kept me from withdrawling almost completely. It didn't get me high, it just kept me normal until the stuff was out of my system. It worked far better than i expected.
Glad to see youre staying off the vyvanse, those stims can really mess you up. Be careful. |

RxQueen,
Good for you for kind of leveling with your pdoc, and getting off the stims. I know this is going to be hard for you, but know I'm cheering you on. You were talking about rehab at one point. Is that something that still might be in the picture? I know it's something that helped me a lot in the past. Stay strong, you can do this. splitimage

Splitimage- thanks for the support, it's good to know I have that! Rehab may or may not be out of the pic. Because I really have no resources for stims, I don't think this will be that hard especially since there's no physical withdraw. However there's still the mental hell that comes with quitting. I'm going to take it one day at a time. I haven't really had a big binge in about two weeks so I'm over the exhaustion. The other day was really a random moment of weekness and they were right in front of me. That never happens. So I'm hoping this won't be too difficult for me.

I took Kratom for about two months in an attempt to stop taking my subs a couple of years ago. It really did help. I was actually amazed. But, like everything else I've ever done, I didn't use it responsibly and ended up taking like 15 grams at a time. Smh. If you used it in small amounts and then tapered off of it it could be beneficial (if you have the willpower not to do what I did, lol)

It's so strange. I live in the US, in MI and I can't even find kratom in my medical app that is used by doctors. Is it prescription only?? I'll try anything to help with sub withdraw right now because that's what's keeping me from getting off them. It's a hassle to hunt them down from friends every couple days and if I have no luck, I get sick. I think the worse part of all is the RSL I get! Can't even sit still or find a few hours of sleep! |

There are stores that sell it, but i'd recommend getting online. Much better prices and quality. It can be addicting, but the withdrawals are nothing compared to subs and i feel you'd have to take A LOT over a long period of time to have any at all. It will help with rls, sleep, anxiety, fatigue... All of that.
