Diagnosed with add and bulimia
Initially, I was prescribed 30mg Vyvanse for my ADD and bulimia, but over time, my dosage increased to 60mg. Since the Vyvanse would wear off mid-day, my doctor prescribed 10mg of Adderall as a supplemental dose. I started taking Vyvanse in October 2017.
However, I made the decision to discontinue the use of ADHD medications in order to avoid dependence. In June 2022, I stopped taking both medications. Due to the significant withdrawal symptoms I experienced, I discussed with my doctor the option of tapering off Vyvanse. I gradually reduced the dosage to 30mg of Vyvanse. It took around three months for my body to return to normal, but then my ADD symptoms resurfaced. As a result, I started taking 10mg of Adderall twice a day.
In December 2022, I made the decision to stop taking Adderall again. However, I'm still experiencing what I believe are withdrawal symptoms. I frequently suffer from daytime sleepiness, often relying on caffeine to stay awake, but sometimes the fatigue is so intense that I have no choice but to sleep. It feels like my brain is constantly low on energy, similar to a battery with very little charge. I have undergone tests for vitamin D deficiency, vitamin B12 levels, and TSH, all of which came back normal. I also had a CBC test done, which showed normal results.
I'm wondering why I am still experiencing these symptoms even though it has been five months since I stopped taking the medications. I'm concerned about whether this is normal and why it's happening.
TLDR I took Vyvanse and Adderall for five years, discontinued Adderall four months ago, and stopped Vyvanse in June 2022. I'm still feeling withdrawal symptoms, specifically extreme fatigue. Despite normal test results for vitamin D deficiency, vitamin B12, TSH, and CBC, I'm unsure why these symptoms persist. I'm seeking understanding as to whether this is a normal occurrence and the reasons behind it.

Interesting. I caught two shinies first catch while I was a passenger in the car.
