Need Advice On When And How To Withdrawl From Taking
(Newest replies first)

Updated

This is very helpful. I am 24 and work full time and go to college. I have been taking vyvanse ever since its been on the market. It is amazing and sometimes a blessing but it also is a crutch. I take it during the work week for energy and focus due to ADD and it helps but I find myself needing breaks from it, it makes my heart race and makes me nervous, anxious, and different than i normally am. I worry about being on meds forever and I dont want to take ANYTHING while pregnant so I am wondering if I should stop taking within the next few months or wait til i am finished with school? I am worried I wont be able to function without it. But I think after the withdraws are over, I may have a chance to not rely on it like I always have. Please give me some advice.

Smoke cannabis, drink lots of juice, green and black tea and be prepared to sleep a lot. For about a week Niacin (normal) doses will also speed up detoxic. The smoke will take burning edge off and help sleep and causes cottonmouth causing you to drink more water,tea,juice and chocolate

Hello, Meg1989! How are you?

To avoid the worst of the withdrawal effects, you should slowly taper off of it, preferably before becoming pregnant. The common preferred method now is to have someone start skipping doses of the relevant medication by taking it every other day for a week, then skipping 2 days for a week and so on, but only your doctor can let you know what is safest for you.

Have you discussed it with them, yet?
