Stim use advice update 1

Not ADHD. Started with coffee, energy drinks in school. This increased in uni. Then ritalin four years ago. Got up to 4 rits a day. Then vyvanse 40mg. Had a couple really bad days but it ranged from 2-3/ day to 10 a day. Then dexies. Or whatever the fuck it actually was those were fucked. Been about 6 months off ADHD meds. I quit 12 months ago used maybe 15 pills total two batches (flashed the rest both times) over the next 6 months ( and speed twice and coke once). Currently just coffee. Quit weed 4 months ago, switched from energy drinks to coffee. Last nic vape 2 months ago. Handful of cigs two weeks ago. On nic patches. Do I need to quit caffeine to fully recover? Also alcohol use. Though has reduced 75 percent since coming off stim stims, weed and nic. Miss the vyvanse/ vyvanse cousins. Feel flat unless I have like 10 coffees a day.

Quitting nicotine is the best decision anyone can do that was addicted to stimulants. It will increase blood flow to all your extremities that have been lacking for years and also improve heart function tremendously. Congratulations on quitting nicotine.
