> It would be nice to see a cognitive performance study for all prescription drugs

I'll admit I'm wary of the potential neurotoxic damage I'm doing to myself through my Vyvanse prescription...

Giving unqualified medical advice is always risky. Giving drastic advice with little context could have severe consequences. Shame on you.

To be fair, you can safely go cold-turkey with Vyvanse - but withdrawal symptoms start after 2-3 days and can last up to a week. I'd describe my withdrawal experience as feeling utterly bored and being uninterested in doing anything, even passively watching the trashiest of shows on TV. I imagine that's what clinical depression (without actually feeling sad) is like.

Weaning-off it is far more preferable.
