Most people don't have that experience. I'm AuDHD and I really like weed, personally. But I found it demotivated me, so I decided to quit it, and I cold turkey put it down about a month ago. When I start working again, I'll probably start smoking again because it helps with the day-to-day stressors that cause me an undue amount of, well, chronic anxiety.
You know what really messed me up? Vyvanse. I got some really intense anxiety, even after being on it for a few months. Decided it wasn't for me.
Ye, not everyone has the same response. But the usual marketing telling people it's safe is simply misleading.
Vyvanse I've not had before. No branded medication at all, really. My healthcare provider got me on methylphenidate for a while, it's basically a weaker version of lisdexamfetamine. (aka vyvanse). It did nothing for me :/
Good thing you listen to your body, and deciding for yourself. well done!
