> I was taking 60mg and it kept me up all night and just made me feel 'weird' like I was outside my body. Months ago I took it at 70mg and I didn't have that affect but it did wear off after about a month and just made me more tired.

> Right now I feel like complete whale sh*t. How long before my brain chemistry neutralizes to pre-Vyvanse?What's your history with stimulants? Have you been on Adderall or Ritalin before?
In my experience the worst of stimulant withdrawl is over after 5-7 days. I've abused ritalin and adderall before and had to come off abruptly which usually led to a week or so of feeling like crap.
I agree w/ the above suggestion that maybe you should see if your pDoc will prescribe a more immediate stimulant - at least short term. If for nothing else to allow you to taper down and off amphetamines. Vyvanse is the longest lasting of the bunch.
Have you talked to your doc?
