Topic: stopped taking my meds

Falco !a7Q.SWNEJw started this discussion 14 years ago #24,235

doctor/mom told me not to, but when I just did it because I have free will, I had one rather off key evening and then nothing else happened. I feel very stable now.

I'm a grown ass man. finally cutting 5mg of lexapro and 10mg of vyvanse out of my bloodstream isn't going to ruin my life. I think it can only make me feel more, and feel better more.

The reason why I did this is that I've been taking some sort of stimulant for ADD since I was 8, and lexapro for anxiety since I was 18. I had to take an incredibly high dose of Concerta (stim) in middle school and high school just to keep my eyes on the chalkboard. Now my ADD is fading away and my anxiety is under control. I want to know what normal feels like again. And now that I'm living alone, nobody can stop me.

Yay sobriety? I think I feel a lot better... like I feel more receptive to emotion rather than just numb and mellow almost all the time. I feel normal...

It may be the vyvanse giving you the numbness.

careful with antidepressants
I have never been on them, and I am thankful that I never will go on them.

Though I do not take antidepressants, I was on 70mg Vyvanse, and I am now on 30mg.

vyvanse is pretty cool. way less side effects than other stims.

do you feel like eating? that's what happens when I'm off vyvanse. It sucks because I don't really like eating but I feel hungry all the time without it.

Lexapro is cipralex and it's an SSRI used to treat depression and anxiety disorders.

Vyvanse is used to treat ADHD. It's called elvanse here and it's yet to be approved in the EU.

Buy some extra watermelons. Smash them if you feel too tense. Fuck them if you feel too horny. If you're feeling particularly sane that day, you can even use them for food.

Yes, they are safe to eat, but that's just one of their many uses.
