I'm prescribed Vyvanse, a high dose. For various reasons, I've run out many times and had to take an involuntary break. It's shit - the lethargy, binge eating, etc.

BUT! After not taking it for even 3 days, that first day you get your refill and it hits again you realize just how powerful this shit is and how much it can change your life. It reaches parts of you that only amphetamine can (I've never done meth).

I am trying my best to be disciplined, and I've come a long way. But just taking a therapeutic dose (my prescribed dose) makes me properly productive and moving in the right direction. I just wish I could get it through my head that the euphoria seeking is just not worth it long term.
