I recently had to stop taking my vyvanse due to some bad side effects and holy shit I forgot how bad this was. I can’t do anything. I have so much shit I need to do but I sit down to do it and it genuinely fills me with dread. I am just staring at my computer. Even getting to the webpage I needed took hours of convincing. This is horrible, even caffeine isn’t helping. What do y’all do? How do you manage?

      It’s not great for the kidneys either, but I’m not sure the meds are great, either. Probably the best way is the slowest and requires more willpower: cut out refined sugars (that includes in breads, mayo and other stuff), switch from refined grains to whole, watch seed oils, increase Omega 3s, regular exercise, good sleep habits, etc. These things can be incorporated incrementally, but the sooner the better. Also meditation and therapy, the latter being cost prohibitive, for many.
