Heya all,
As the title implies I recently switched from Concerta (27 mg) to Vyvanse (20 mg) because I had heard very wonderful things about the latter and upping my Concerta dosage wouldn't be ideal given my blood pressure. I'm about six days in to the swap and quite honestly I feel like shit. Like, obviously I'm experiencing withdrawal symptoms from a stimulant I took habitually for years but this still sucks. I'm curious to hear from others who have had the same experience, particularly about how long the adjustment period was.
no problem. with all the adderall shortages ive unfortunately gone through that withdrawal a few times. it blows because you really feel like a massive cold is about to hit you. sharts like 2-3 days after last dose and last 4-7 days.
concerta is not quite the same type of stimulant as adderall and vyvanse but im sure it has its own withdrawal period.
i wish there was more readily available information about this stuff for medication takers, because its important. but if you search for "stimulant withdrawals" and stuff like that its very broad and mostly geared towards people with hardcore addiction to illicit drugs, which isn't quite the same for us who take this shit because we have to
