Jesus, that sounds horrendous. I'm really sorry to hear that and wishing you the best for the future.
Do you think you perceived it as feeling worse after coming of it because you had just experienced feeling better while on it then?
All I know is for me at age 35 Vyvanse made me feel like a whole functioning human for the first time since childhood. Depression & overeating are documented withdrawal symptoms from Vyvanse (for nearly everyone) but maybe even worse for anyone like me because depression & overeating are already part of the fabric of my life. But such a relief those 2 years Vyvanse even took away the depression & overeating. Before Vyvanse I was 130lbs. On Vyvanse I went down to 98lbs, became a yoga teacher, earned two vocational certificates, got out of a bad marriage, ran marathons, sweet relief & freedom!
