I'm on day 12 of no stimulants. I think I'm probably over the hardest part but I'm still struggling so much. I started taking vyvanse last August, quit after about a month because it was making me too paranoid and anxious. I couldn't handle it and started taking adderall occasionally then by February of this year I was taking it daily and definitely taking too much. I lost my supply of adderall but got a bottle of ritalin, it was slow release so I started crushing it up and taking it that way. I did this for a little over a month. I quit cold turkey, completely unaware of how bad the withdrawals would be. I really thought I was going to die for a moment. I'm hydrating, walking and have my family to support me atm. But I was wondering if anyone could help me with a few questions that I'm not sure are normal and I can't find clear answers on- is it normal to have waves of paranoid episodes come and go? It feels like an actual freezing cold wave washes over me and I'm paralyzed in fear and anxiety. I only abused the stimulants for a few months so does it make sense the withdrawals would be this bad? Does anyone have advice on how to get through this and when I'll be able to function normally again? I feel hopeless.
