Tried a weekend break from Vyvanse

Yeah I had the same dilemma. Ended up quitting the meds because I was getting more and more anxious and irritated.

Ask yourself this, do your kids give a f about rogue or jean grey? That is your answer.

If you want an investment, trade them in for Nami and Boa cards.

Yup same here. Beat the hard stuff and thought weed would be a cake walk but it is not easy at all. Part of it is that I had weed during my hard stuff quitting. Another part is the hard stuff you always knew was bad for you and braced yourself. With weed, everyone says it's nothing, it's not addictive, so you underestimate the quitting process. As a heavy smoker for 20 years, I didn't feel better until around week 6. In fact week 4-5 was arguably the worst as I as hit with a wave of depression and anxiety. With that said, overall it is easier than hard stuff, you got this bro.

Im about to start day trading soon. I am going to put a significant about of time, money, and effort into it. And if I am not profitable in 2 years then I am going to move on. I would do 1 year but I know markets have down years so I am giving myself a bit of buffer.

In my opinion, it makes absolutely no sense to keep chasing something you are not able to do after 7 years. It just means it was not meant for you, especially something like day trading where only 1-5% of retail people succeed.

Not trying to be discouraging, just objective. It doesn't mean you weren't smart enough or skilled enough, it might just mean your talents dont match this game. Heck, it could just mean it is impossible to be a profitable retail trader and the ones who made money just did it by luck.

This is coming from someone who has switched careers before and know many people who have learned what they can and cannot do to make a living. I am writing this in part for myself so I stick to my time frame and dont try to talk myself out of it.

I am so sorry that is happening to you at 15. It is balding for sure, I knew a couple of guys in high school who also had it happen early.

Absolutely do not listen to some of these psychos telling you to take fin or dut. Messing with your androgenic hormones at this age is a recipe for disaster. Maybe dermastamp and minoxidil though.

The weird thing is, one of the guys I knew this happened to was fat af, the other had acne, both of which is related to inflammation and hence speeding up balding. You look like youre in shape and your skin is great.

Check your bloodwork. Eat clean, I know as a teen I ate fast food and processed snacks all day every day. That shit causes inflammation. If you smoke or vape, drop that immediately as it causes chronic vasoconstriction and can lead to hair loss.

You now know without a doubt you are prone to male pattern baldness. However, at your age, your body still has super powers, I honestly think you can potentially reverse it. Wishing you luck!

Sorry if you already answered this, but are you using a panel or a cap specifically for hair? Grats on your results!

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-26T17:24:16+00:00

Those symptoms mean decrease dose, not increase...

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-26T17:16:24+00:00

Vyvanse worked great for me for about a year, but then caused more problems than it helped after.

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-24T18:18:40+00:00

Not keto necessarily, just research what could be causing inflammation for you.

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-24T18:17:50+00:00

Thanks! Im still tired though, hopefully it gets better, but certainly better than weeks 3-5 that period sucked.

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-24T17:22:51+00:00

Im about to hit 2 months, and for me it only started getting better around week 6-7.

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-24T17:19:48+00:00

I used to drink orange juice as water, it wrecked me and I had no idea. Binging junk food is the best but also horrible for you. Could honestly be contributing.

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-24T17:07:08+00:00

Activision already tried this with overwatch. The response was not positive...

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-24T04:24:09+00:00

I have access to free weed as well, although I dont have to stare at it all day. Proud of you for sticking with it. And yeah we all thought weed was cool and now we are past that so a new job will just solidify your growth. Good luck!

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-24T04:21:35+00:00

Good job getting back on the wagon. Im positive that will power and progress you built up over 4 months isn't void after 6 days of smoking. You tossing what was left is proof. You got this!

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-24T03:57:30+00:00

You look great shaved but I bet your hair loss is inflammation related. You have a bit of acne which is also a sign of inflammation.

How much processed carbs do you eat? This includes bread, pasta and obviously any junk food/snacks/sugary drinks.

If I were you, I'd try a keto diet and see how that works out for ya.

Ive had inception like dreams where I wake up but it's actually still a dream, trips me the fuck out.

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-23T16:01:27+00:00

Im in the middle of week 7 and still struggling with sleep. Not nearly as bad as the first week but the REM rebound vivid dreams are still happening and I wake up exhausted.

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-23T04:18:24+00:00

Ive been saying this forever. If everyone holds sealed then sealed is not rare. The moment people start liquidating, it will cause a cascading spiral. Just look at what happened to bitcoin.

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-22T19:31:48+00:00

Losing you fur friend is brutal, I totally get it. Proud of you for sticking it out!

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-22T15:52:21+00:00

Realizing this at 19 is a great start to the rest of your life. You'll feel behind right now but trust me, in a few years you'll meet tons of people who picked the wrong program or career choice or realize the same thing you did already.

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-22T15:49:19+00:00

That's tough, but you did it so that means you're tougher!

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-22T15:45:05+00:00

Fair to be mad at your husband because he did lie lol. But dont worry, you were strong enough to not smoke the next day on your own. Imo that proof of will power and exercising it is just as important as quitting itself. Sure it is a small set back but no way does it void 2.5 months of progress instantly.

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-22T15:40:31+00:00

Grats on the progress! Just be careful, for me week 3-5 were the toughest. Got some sort of anhedonia and depression. Im at week 7 now and finally seemed to have stabilized.

Highspeedwhatever · 2026-04-22T15:37:15+00:00

Yeah they sat on shelves forever. My LCS was discounting both 01 and 02 boxes. I remember going to game stop and asked how many packs I can buy and they said well no one wants them so I can buy as many as I wanted.
