Quitting My Addiction to Vyvanse?
Question by Brandon: Quitting my addiction to Vyvanse?
I am dependent on Vyvanse. I haven’t gone a day without taking it in over 3 years. I have decided that I want to stop taking Vyvanse, since I dislike the idea of being dependent on a drug. My tolerance is somewhat high, and I am not sure whether or not it would be a good idea for me to stop taking it all at once. Am I going to have to wean myself off it? If I stop taking it all at once, would that be risking my health? I’m a strong person mentally, and I feel like I am capable of curing my addiction with my mind. However, would this cause problems with my brain or anything like that? I’m not really sure how it works. I’d prefer to just stop all together, if it’s possible.

Answer by Kristen
Are you taking it because it was prescribed to you or have you been taking it for other reasons? If you were prescribed Vyvanse I would talk to your doctor about what you should do. If you have been taking it for other reasons, then I would suggest gradually lowering your dosage. Drugs affect everyone differently, but I have heard that quitting Vyvanse cold turkey can cause severe depression. Good luck with whatever you decide & I hope all the best.
Answer by Narconon
Before quitting cold turkey do a little research on the withdrawal effects. But, in general my answer would be the same for everyone–you can definitely quit taking this drug or any drug.
I was an addict and in the last rehab, Narconon, I saw withdrawals from more than 20 drugs and everybody made it through and recovered.
The only problem with some drugs is that they change your body’s chemistry so bad that a medical supervised withdrawal is the safest way. So, check if this drug is one of those.
For what you say I am confident that you can do it. Go ahead but start taking a little bit less every day. If you get negative effects at some point, then increase your dose one step back to the last dosage and if you do well on that dosage, then try once more and reduce the dosage one step. Keep this gradual approach. Do not rush it. Keep at it until you don’t take any drug.
One thing that I recommend is for you to eat healthy food and take vitamin supplements. Researchers have noticed that drug users are usually deficient in vitamins of the B family. I would take a 100mg Vitamin B Complex (it has all the B vitamins) per day while weaning from drugs. B vitamins have a calming effect and B1 can even help you sleep better.
There is a lot to know that I can’t write here so I recommend that you research this subjects. I personally recommend to anyone that has had a lot of drugs or has been exposed any other toxic substance (drugs are toxic substances), weather at work or through the environment (preservatives, pesticides, etc.) that he or she does a detox program, like the one Narconon provides.
I had the best experience doing the detox part. I felt light, the colors were bright, the smells delicious, I felt so happy and alive, like when I was 6 years old–amazing!
Drugs of any kind lodge in the fatty tissues of the body causing the restimulation of past incidents, which is one of the reasons people has cravings. These drugs can also cause flashbacks, feelings of tiredness, anxiety, etc.
All drugs are toxic and not natural to the body and the theorys of chemical imbalance are a fraud. There is no such thing as ADD or ADHD or other 1000 made up illnesses described in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual), which is the book the psychiatrists use to diagnose people. This is just a scam that the APA (American Psychiatric Association) uses to sell illnesses to the people. The way these illnesses enter in this book is by vote, not by any scientific means.

I hope this helps. You can conquer any addiction.
