I recently had to stop taking my vyvanse due to some bad side effects and holy shit I forgot how bad this was. I can't do anything. I have so much shit I need to do but I sit down to do it and it genuinely fills me with dread. I am just staring at my computer. Even getting to the webpage I needed took hours of convincing. This is horrible, even caffeine isn't helping. What do y'all do? How do you manage?

Poorly. I'm unmedicated and trying to get on meds.

Are you in the US? What difficulties are you running into?

My current psychiatrist doesn't want to prescribe me any stimulants because of the potential for abuse. For the record, I have no, uh, record of drug use. I don't even fucking drink. I get the caution, but it's deeply frustrating.

I wish you the best of luck, it took me years to get the right diagnosis and then about 7 months to get the appointment with a doc to prescribe me some meds.

Hopefully your journey is smoother than mine was.
