I know some people generally need them, but for me they’ve caused nothing but pain. My doctor convinced me to get on one in 2020 when things became dark, and somehow I ended up on 4

Adderall and Dexedrine scared me the worst, and I’ve been off for 21 months and still am recovering (he put me on 90 mg but that’s a different story).

Also been adjusting post-SSRI.

My new psychiatrist pulled me off Wellbutrin 4 weeks ago, and my brain has been a foggy anhedonic mess since.

I thought it would be easy…

I told him I thought withdrawal only lasted 2 weeks with Wellbutrin. He laughed and said we have no idea and it could last many months.

Why TF did I let my doctor prescribe me all these? Why did I take them without considering how long it may take to return to baseline cognitive and emotional functioning after years on them?!
