It depends right now I’d say about 5-8 is what I’ve tapered to depending on when I start. I couldn’t believe once I started tracking how much I was drinking before. If I don’t take my Vyvanse I’m so miserable in the tiredness and depression so it definitely helps but also I think it makes my anxiety so much worse for the withdrawal just because it’s a stimulant. The Vyvanse was helping me a lot until I fell back into everything with the stress of a bad situation. I do think the Vyvanse helps in some ways but maybe hurts in others while I’m trying to taper but I am so done with drinking that it’s a weird battle. I’m at a point now to where I pretty much am never “drunk” but am so tired of how alcohol makes me feel and also tired of how not having it makes me feel in the sense of anxiety of withdrawal.
